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)
I couldn’t help but notice there’s a different price for cash and card, is that normal in the States?
It’s normal with independently-owned fuel stations. Not so much with corporate chains.
Yep. Back around 2013 when the national credit rating slid down it became legal/not prohibited to do so after a lawsuit.
It fell off for awhile but came around during COVID. It used to account for card back in the day, now AI think gas stations are just running shit under the table.
I rarely see it in Canada. I’ve only seen it at farmers markets. I did a quick search and apparently it is fully legal, just uncommon. As long as you either advertise the highest cost or clearly explain the different cost levels (like in the OP) it’s fine apparently. The more you know.
Oh yeah you see it a good bit in other cases. Usually just a flat 25 cent additional charge for card, it’s just gas that I think is cooking the books in particular.
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.
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
God I wish.
They said, sobbing
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?
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)
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’s not impossible. I had a 1.5 hour one-way commute to work at one point.
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.
there is literally one
It’s about $9.60 in Germany. Thanks, Trump.
For comparison, prices near me in the UK are £1.55 a litre which is about $7.45 a gallon.
I made the mistake of taking my diesel TDi on a road trip through California right as the illegal invasion kicked off.
My last fill was $8.00/ gal
Awww, did someone get addicted to unsustainable energy sources that are artificially cheap due to externalized costs?
Edit: For context, the highest price shown in this picture is still 32% cheaper than gas was in Germany BEFORE your genius president decided to start a war, and around 42% cheaper than it is now. And seeing as we’re still burning fossils like there’s no tomorrow, it is apparently not nearly expensive enough yet.
Don’t worry, they’ll figure out the “no tomorrow” part soon enough
No the oil lobby is forcing it upon us. We try to get renewables but they are being destroyed by idiots.
Well, y’all had the chance to elect people less influenced by the oil lobby. and y’all collectively failed.
You would know that from experience, right?
No, because my country has continuously overthrown (or at least tried to overthrow) authoritarian regimes that served other interests rather than the people’s, for the past 300 years alone.
Yep, 1/3 of us choose not to show up, because the candidate wasn’t perfect or they couldn’t be bothered, along with the disenfranchisement of people due to “voting reform”.
I wish it mattered that a lot of us voted against this shit, but just as many wanted it/didn’t care, so here we are. It fucking sucks here 😕
They write the rules and we use it as an excuse to not escalate.
I’m not just talking about Kamala here - Bernie being listed while running on a pretty popular programme, just because the right would audibly consider it “communist” (while they’d still do so even if the Democrats brought out a plan that matched the GOP 99.999%) is another good example.
Same answer applies. We consistently have a third of the population sir or of the general, and only a fraction of voters participate in primaries.
Too many are apathetic and don’t participate, or become so entrenched in purity politics and reject anything that could stem the bleeding because it’s too middle of the road and stay home. A lot of our problems could be solved by an active and informed electorate, but too many want perfection and are willing to sacrifice passable to get less than nothing.
Centrism is unelectable
Letting fascists win is preferable, clearly.
Nominating centrists is letting fascists win, demonstrably over many years
Then show the fuck up and get others to do so as well. Cuz people staying home is how the centrists get nominated, and the fascists get elected.,
Comparatively, fuel in Hong Kong is about $4/litre which is about $15/gallon… so count your lucky stars and stripes you warmongering fools.
Right, because the people of California were the ones clamoring for a war in the middle east.
Until the people of the US do something about your tyrannical government, I think the rest of the world is going to make snide comments and tar you all with the same brush. Let’s be honest, it doesn’t matter who youve voted for, the US consistently will start wars.
It sucks but at least you guys arent the ones being bombed.
The US has a lot of blame for these wars, certainly, I’m on the same page, but historically, the US was not there alone. So when you point the finger and say the US and its citizens need to do something, remember that you could also be pressuring your own government to stand up for what’s right, in a world full of Kier Starmer, be a Pedro Sanchez.
You and I are of the same mind, we are better together than fighting each other.
I volunteer Utah to be bombed, actually that’d be an improvement if they were.
6M Californians voted for him.
Population of CA: 39 million
And yet none of it went towards electing Trump.
Most didn’t.
11,7$/gallon in Germany . It had never been so high.
Tbf how much does rising gas prices affect ambulance fees in Hong Kong?
Ha! Take that liberals! /S
If only conservatives weren’t so focused on the economy the economy would be doing better. :(
They focus on the economy just like they focus on underaged girls
They’re only looking for something they can fuck
You sonofabitch I’m writing this because I can’t upvote twice. Capital joke!
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
Good time to buy the cheapest electric car you can find and use it for commute and round town driving. Leave the gas car for longer trips.
I can appreciate that premium gas is only $.30/gal more, where by me it’s $1.10/gal more 😡😤
A little unfair since Chevron is often 50 cents to a dollar more, but it’s still pretty bad. 5.60 a gallon at the cheapest. We still tax our gas though.
Germans are envious.
