Gas prices

[Monocrom]

Let the rioting begin!

It'll be food prices, gas prices, or both that start riots soon.

I farted and it didn't cost me a dime.

 

[Monocrom]

A little higher, and folks will be trading in their cars for Horse-drawn buggies.

Never mind. Thinking about it, it didn't make sense. ... lol

Tell us you've never owned a horse without telling us you've never owned a horse.

Like EVs, H&B is not for apartment dwellers.

Rioting over gas-prices. Not Takeover teens finally getting what they deserve.
Well, not entirely. I'd confiscate their cars. Oh, and they don't get them back.

I saw $3.99 today, although I see the lowest in FL is currently $3.74.

 

[Chauncey Gardener]

The least expensive in our neighborhood is $5.79.

 

[TPA]

Paid $3.79 tonight. Most stations around are $3.99. Keep that downward trend coming!

You, Americans, have very cheap fuel. I envy you. It costs around 2 eur per liter in EU. A gallon is about 3.8 liters.

Yes. Where I am it costs about USD 7.50 to 8.00 per US gallon. (1.60 pounds per litre at UK prices)

Cheap and less expensive do not have the same meaning.

We Americans pay less for gasoline; however, it is not cheap.

Our petrol (gasoline) is mostly taxes. Our government is greedy.

You are paying less than 50% of EU price on average. How is that not cheap?

What if we Americans had a 50% price increase in the milk we purchase? Would that make the price you pay for milk cheap?

 

[bluflaam777]

^I might have a 'beef' with that

 

[Chauncey Gardener]

Only if you could afford it.

I agree. Less expensive gasoline doesn't mean cheap. Even at $2.00 per gallon I consider the fuel costs to drive exorbitant compared to the costs of other types of transportation. That's not even getting into fixed costs like insurance. In fact even if fuel were free driving would be too costly for my tastes.

That said given the high cost of fuel in the EU I'm amazed anyone except the wealthy drives at all.
