Better get yourself a 50gal barrel before they start rationing fuel.
It’s the TP rush all over again but for gas!
Ouch! We’re around $3.90 by my me. We were at $2.75 on the day the war started.
Thanks, Trump. We won’t forget.
I actually could bike 1hr to work and 1hr back. But with the helium industry fucked up and gasoline thru the roof, I think the business will be going under soon. I’ll take on carpentry and work from my basement.
And somehow, Europe pays much more for gas because of an american war.
You pay more at the pump, but we likely pay as much, just through constant oil subsidies. Without those, we’d be paying more per gallon at the pump. This way, even those who don’t drive still pay for oil! Capitalism!
In Europe, the price is mostly paid by the consumer. In America, the government subsidizes the industry to the tune of billions per year, both at the federal and state levels. It makes gullible people think American fuel prices are lower, when in fact it socializes the cost of fuel onto all of society.
Counterpoint: I live in Europe and pay €0 for gas. I walk, bike, and take transit. That’s literally impossible in much of the US.
The trucks that bring your food to within walking distance use a fair bit of if fuel.
A lot less on a per capita served basis than it would take to drive all those people that are served by the truck to the place where the food comes from and back again
2€ per litre for diesel here in France.
I fill up like 4 times a year though so personally I’m surviving, and it seems Van der Leyen & Co are pushing hard for EU energy independence helped by this, so that’s quite cool IMO.
4x a year? When work is busy, I might fill up four times in a week.
Look up gas prices in Europe and you’ll feel better. Be aware prices are in liters, not gallons and the Euro is worth more than the dollar. E.g. today in Germany in my region 2.27 Euro for a liter.
If my math is right, that comes out to roughly $10 USD per gallon. Ouch.
£1.40 a litre in the UK at the moment.
I think the difference here is that we aren’t fooled by right wing politicians who blame prices on their left wing counterparts.
Trump made petrol prices and inflation a key policy issue that he alone could fix. And now its worse.
Although the fact that he could be brought down by petrol prices and not him being a demented war-mongering kiddy fiddler is deeply saddening.
People don’t see him diddling kids. They do see the number on the gas pump though.
We’ve passed €2.5/l in Denmark. I suspect we’ll hit the infamous 20 DKK/l next week. I think it was during the full-scale invasion that gas stations rushed to replace their price counters since they could only go up to 19.99 and now we’re about to hit those prices twice in less than 5 years.
Big beautiful coal will save us.
C’mon! Letter go to Walmart!
C’mon! Go get the latest gadget at Wallgreens!
This photo by the way is just awesome.
This photo is fake. It is likely AI slop. The story is still true though and there are real photos. His, the wrester’s, name is Adrian Street.
Like a real life Zoolander
But a good one.
Hello fellow Washingtonian.
Sincerely, the moths flying out of my wallet
You know, Moss and pine cones burn pretty good. If only one could frack that stuff cleanly.
Ahh yes! How could I forget! Singas that’s popular in Mexico. They use trash and corn I think.
To be honest, I always found that to be extremely interesting. Not very practical, but extremely interesting.
Oh nevermind, looks like Mexico is gonna Cuba soon:
My trick is syphoning from large trucks with Trump stickers. That’s socialism.
There’s only like 5 of those in this area (Seattle). The rest are Cyber trucks.
At least fuel is a lot harder to hoard than TP.
I dunno about Philip but Josh should be here soon
