    Diesel in Denmark is 11.2 USD/gallon … but do keep complaining about your luxuriously low gas prices, which BTW was caused by the POTUS too many Americans couldn’t be bothered to vote against.

      In Canada where I live, diesel is 9.2 USD/G converted, but can reach much higher (10.5$+) in other regions on Canada.

    Remember when all the coal rolling micropenises were whacking “I did that!” stickers stickers on everything?

    Wonder what they’re all blaming now their man, Mango Mussolini and his team of cum-guzzling sycophants and fascist handlers are fully in charge?

    Is it still somehow Biden’s fault? What’s their play here?

    Diesel is over $7/gal, it’s fucking wild out here.

    I got a big pay bump last October and I felt like for the first time since the 00’s I was finally out of the “just getting by” pay curve for Bay Area California and then this Iran war shit happens and now everything including gas is more expensive, clawing back all the gains I’ve made.

    At least there’s a chance things might go back to normal if this shit ever ends, but I expect that prices are going to stay high long after the justification for raising them vanishes, just like with inflation.

      I left California 35 years ago and never looked back. The prices were too high then, and have gotten exponentially worse since. The people are all fake and full of themselves.

    I love all the comments from other countries stating “oh that’s still cheap.”

    Lil bro, I probably drive more in a month just for the menial shit I need to do than you do in a year, and I work from home.

    We don’t even fucking have sidewalks where I live.

      Bro I live in the Netherlands one of the densest countries in the world, with great pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure and good public transportation. The average work commute here is still 40km per day that’s 200km a week so 120 miles per week. And the majority of people use the car to commute. Gas is €2.34/L and Diesel is €2.58/L that’s €8.84/gallon or $10.2/gallon for petrol and €9.57/gallon or $11/gallon for diesel.

      So people all over the world are screwed even if they travel less. And even if you don’t use a car guess what will happen to food prices and public transportation ticket prices when diesel is as expensive as it is now.

      Good news is, once enough of you cant afford the fuel anymore, you can easily convert one of the 8 lanes into a sidewalk.

      Or even… gasp a cycle path. dun dun dunnnn

        Likely nothing because there’s 100+ years of laws and momentum preventing any meaningful change.

        Not to mention the cost and time required to make change is something that is no longer feesable in many instances as things stand. Making change even if you were to get everyone to agree not possible.

        We can make things better going forward but in many cases we can’t actually fix the existing problem with out displacing people and businesses. Damaging already struggling local economies and creating a larger homeless problem.

        City planning is a brutal issue that frequently doesn’t lend it self well to going back and fixing problems. The best in many cases is to stop fucking up in the first place on new construction. And band aid fix old.

      Swap the F150 for a prius.

      Roll less coal

      I’m being mean. Your country is damn big. But your fuel is hella cheap. Do you drive 200 miles per day?

        I don’t drive one of the giant brotrucks that I see daily, those guys are absolutely fucked. Gas is $4 where I am, but I expect it over $5 by the time summer hits and those assholes with their 8mpg highway are going to be hurting

        I drive like… 200 miles every 2 weeks or so in total? I fill up once a month and at current prices that’s about $60 for my car

        It depends on the area, but it’s not uncommon to drive more than 30 or 40 miles a day for a work commute in California (especially if you’re trying to live in a cheaper area away from where the jobs are located).

        At my university, one of my professors told me his commute to campus was about 2 hours, so I’d interpet that to an easy 50 miles from his home (my 4 hour commute to move onto the campus was roughly 100 miles)

      For some reason this comment reminded me of that Cuban dude that retrofitted his car to run on coal because of American sanctions. What a world we live in.

    Canadian comparison: $6.79 USD/gal(us) is $2.49 CAD/L, currently.

    Gas around here in Edmonton, Alberta is between $1.45 CAD/L and $1.72 CAD/L depending how hard you look.

    That would be between $3.95/gal(us) and $4.68/gal(us)

      It’s about $3.69 to $3.99 right now around Cincinnati, OH. Gas in California is probably (if not actually) the highest priced gas in the country.

      But yeah the cost of everything going up since Trump took office has sucked. This war in Iran feels totally pointless, we’ve managed to hurt ourselves and kill a bunch of innocent people and all for what? Like honestly it’s beyond idiotic, it’s cruel and literally weakens our position on the world stage.

      There is zero incentive for Iran to allow free transit through the strait of Hormuz, now or in the foreseeable future. Even when this all ends it’s not going to go back to like it was before.

      Sorry went on a tangent there but yeah gas prices being this high because our president and current administration are fucking morons is so dumb.

    I think this is all a conspiracy to make the price of a foot long seem cheaper. Big sandwich with the full support of Subway is manipulating the U.S. into performing atrocious acts to drive up fuel prices. Thus when you see the cost of a sub, you’ll be like huh… That’s actually not that terrible. /s
