Remember when all the coal rolling micropenises were whacking "I did that!" stickers stickers on everything?

Wonder what they're all blaming now their man, Mango Mussolini and his team of cum-guzzling sycophants and fascist handlers are fully in charge?

Is it still somehow Biden's fault? What's their play here?

    I saw someone rambling yesterday that it indeed is Obama and Bidens fault due to them not attacking Iran when they were in power and now Trump has to clean up their mess. Unhinged logic for sure.

    If only conservatives weren't so focused on the economy the economy would be doing better. :(

    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)

    It's about $3.69 to $3.99 right now around Cincinnati, OH. Gas in California is probably (if not actually) the highest priced gas in the country.

    But yeah the cost of everything going up since Trump took office has sucked. This war in Iran feels totally pointless, we've managed to hurt ourselves and kill a bunch of innocent people and all for what? Like honestly it's beyond idiotic, it's cruel and literally weakens our position on the world stage.

    There is zero incentive for Iran to allow free transit through the strait of Hormuz, now or in the foreseeable future. Even when this all ends it's not going to go back to like it was before.

    Sorry went on a tangent there but yeah gas prices being this high because our president and current administration are fucking morons is so dumb.

    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

    Diesel is over $7/gal, it's fucking wild out here.

    I got a big pay bump last October and I felt like for the first time since the 00's I was finally out of the "just getting by" pay curve for Bay Area California and then this Iran war shit happens and now everything including gas is more expensive, clawing back all the gains I've made.

    At least there's a chance things might go back to normal if this shit ever ends, but I expect that prices are going to stay high long after the justification for raising them vanishes, just like with inflation.

    Diesel in Denmark is 11.2 USD/gallon ... but do keep complaining about your luxuriously low gas prices, which BTW was caused by the POTUS too many Americans couldn't be bothered to vote against.

    I can appreciate that premium gas is only $.30/gal more, where by me it's $1.10/gal more 😡😤

    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.

    Oh, you're right, it was actually 57% of registered voters in California that refused to vote against him and vote for Kamala.

    Just because you live in a system doesn't mean that voting absolves you of all blame for the current crisis. You still live in the US and you still indirectly support American foreign policy. You still live in a world that is crumbling because authoritarians are bullying the civilians of the world.

    Americans having to pay a fraction of what Europeans or the global south has to pay for gas is completely fair. The US started this war. The war has not ended yet.

    At the very least, the 57% of you who encouraged this behavior might change their mind after this pain.

    There is too much apathy in the US. You can't just live in a bubble and pretend everything will be OK while World War 3 is starting.

    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.

    Bro I live in the Netherlands one of the densest countries in the world, with great pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure and good public transportation. The average work commute here is still 40km per day that’s 200km a week so 120 miles per week. And the majority of people use the car to commute. Gas is €2.34/L and Diesel is €2.58/L that’s €8.84/gallon or $10.2/gallon for petrol and €9.57/gallon or $11/gallon for diesel.

    So people all over the world are screwed even if they travel less. And even if you don’t use a car guess what will happen to food prices and public transportation ticket prices when diesel is as expensive as it is now.

    Swap the F150 for a prius.

    I'm being mean. Your country is damn big. But your fuel is hella cheap. Do you drive 200 miles per day?

    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 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 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.

    I saw $6.79 a gallon for regular being advertised on a sign by the highway.

    I've said it before, I'll say it again. Thank God for Costco.

    $5.10 a gallon for premium and 5% cash back because I have their credit card.

    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.
