Seeing the reactions here saying $6/gallon is expensive… here in the Netherlands we’re up to $9.92 per gallon (if my math maths right) 🥲. Happy to drive electric myself but my wife is not amused ‘cause she has a petrol car still.

Yall just wait. I’ve lived through over $4 gas prices before. They ain’t done

laughs in bicycle

I'm so grateful my hybrid from over a decade ago still gets 45mpg. People thought me crazy to drop roughly $5k more on a car but who's laughing now?

Although, there were so few options back then and I really wanted an EV, even before we had places to charge it. If I just had a little more money I'd probably have had to get a Tesla. No way past me would have guessed the current state of things regarding that... I knew gas was gonna be a liability, but not that Elon was a lunatic, or even who he was. This was pre-Trump, even!

Saw $3.87 for regular today

We're up like 20something yen/litre compared to February 1st (costco 132 -> 153 and it's 10-20 yen cheaper than local stations).

If local stations are 165/litre and 3.785412 l = 1 US gallon ~> 625 yen/ US gallon ~> $3.92 USD / USGal in my area of northern Japan using whatever my browser thinks is today's exchange rate (0.0063 yen per dollar). I suspect Tokyo is and the big cities are more expensive, though not by a ton.

It cost me damn near thirty bucks to fill up from 1/4 tank.

I drive a subcompact.

Unless u are in the US where it is still dirt cheap lol. Even now they are paying less then Europeans did before the war.

I have been waiting for this moment...

...my whole life!

Goodbye, fossil industry.

It's probably the biggest contribution against climate change from Trump. Just not what he wanted...

I shed a tear for those poor drivers every time I pass by a gas station on my bicycle. It's not like a lot of them have alternatives but refuse to do anything but pay more for a liquid that people are killed for. Countries are politically pressured, invaded or bombed. It encourages dictatorship, abuse and torture. It's slowly choking us and making the environment unlivable. And it has to be cheap or we shall invade, bomb, and kill more people so it stays cheap. More death and destruction, no alternatives. We need cheap gas!

How did you know?

Jokes on you, my full tank is $50. Australian dollars. I have a small car to compensate.

$5.83 a gallon in Vancouver Canada. Actually pretty fucking funny that it's cheaper than alot of places in the US now.

prices went up 24% on gasoline compared to normal. How bad is it for y'all?

Just take the train

Boomer humor

I paid 4.99 yesterday, that price is going to have to rise dramatically before I get concerned.
