$5 per US gallon would be 98p (GBP) per litre. I don’t think fuel has been that cheap here in the last 10 years.
According to the RAC it was earlier than 2010. But then I don’t get a lifetime of medical debt if I get injured so at least at have that going for us. Currently.

I actually saw $6.08 at my neighborhood gas station a few days ago. Been driving a Leaf since 2013 tho. <gloat>

Flipped over to a Volt in 2019 and I’ve never been happier
A friend of mine loves his Volt. My wife and I just bought a 2023 Kia Niro. Feels a lot like a Leaf but with vastly longer range.
I could <gloat>? about something too but then someone else could top my gloat and then someone else would top it maybe let’s just not …gloat
REGULAR - 529
PREMIUM - 573
EPSTEIN - 608Damn. They got them prices represented with exponents now. Those must be the Europe prices. /s
I paid $5.77 in West Virginia yesterday
With current exchange rates, that’s 1.09 € per litre. In Germany we pay 1.90 € per litre ( for the cheap stuff). So in Germany it is ~9.60$ per gallon.
I’m not being shitty, but a real question. Do you have your own oil wells? We not only have our own oil, but we frack the shit out of our earth.
Doesn’t matter if you supply your own oil, it’s traded on world markets that determines the price.
The gas pricing map of the United States would contradict that.
Tell me you don’t understand oil markets without saying it.
I don’t know about where you’re sourcing your info, and I don’t know enough about it to check this source, lol.
Regardless, they seem confident?:
By contrast, the United States is supposedly relatively well-off since we are largely self-sufficient and in fact a net exporter of natural gas.
While the point about the US having large oil and gas production is important, it distorts the impact in important ways. The simplest way to think about the surge in oil and natural gas prices is as a big tax on consumers of these products.
When people pay $3.50 at the pumps, instead of the $2.80 we paid a month ago, this would be the same thing to consumers as if the government imposed a 70 cent a gallon gas tax. There would be a similar story with higher prices for home heating oil or natural gas. From the standpoint of consumers, the price increases are the same as if they just got hit with a big tax increase.
The difference is that instead of the money going to the government, as it would with a tax, it’s going to the oil and gas industry, Donald Trump’s campaign contributors. In principle, for a country like the United States, which is largely self-sufficient in oil and gas, if we could just rebate the money people paid in higher prices back to consumers, all would be fine.

“Because American refineries require specific crude blends (and to maximize global market efficiency), the U.S. exports a significant amount of its crude and refined products, while concurrently importing crude oil.”
The US exports a majority of its oil as they don’t have the refining capacity for the type of oil (light sweet crude) it produces. They import heavy crude (mainly from Canada) that they use for domestic use as refineries are designed to refine heavy crude, and US heavy crude production has nearly run dry, mainly from California.
TBF you tax the crap out of your gas.
That is a choice.
And it is not enough. To even begin to account for the externalized damages due to the total emissions car based transport, taxes need to be way higher still.
Of course americans - land of the externalized costs - never gave a shit about that, and never will.
There are two things Americans love the most: boasting how much democracy and freedom they have, and waiting for some misterious “them” to do something.
y’all are paying more than Canadians. last night it was $1.55/L
damn you’re winning hard
also, fuel in Canada should still be more expensive.
£1.92 a litre for diesel at my local petrol station the last time I went.
A quick currency check says that’s 3.54 Canadian dollars.All because an orange child rapist is trying to distract everyone from all those decades of raping little girls.
$2.45/L in the real parts of Canada.
what parts are those?
Hongcouver.
It was down to $3.89 when I filled up yesterday.
it was at a club store gas station, so I’m not sure how much they are actively suppressing the price to keep people spending in the store. Elsewhere I was seeing from around 4.29 to 4.50 on Saturday in PA.
I can hear it in his voice
Sleepy Joe Biden did this!!!
Even though he isn’t the president!!!
He still did it because he is wearing a skin suit of Trump!!!
Wake up Sheeple!!!
i mean, he did have access to the files, and he could have used it to have mango mussolini arrested but instead he handed the keys to the country and the nuclear codes to a man he himself called a fascist. so yes, Joe is indeed responsible for the situation the world is in. just because all republicans support pedophilia doesn’t mean Dems don’t help them.
Kamala Harris did pledge to start a war with Iran to defend Israel or prevent them from gaining nuclear weapons, and also called trump a pussy for not bombing Iran enough. So we were getting this one no matter what.
