brazil here, diesel is 6.49 BRL per liter here, that's less than an euro, turns out all that sugar cane ethanol did help with something0

Diesel is equivalent to 2 €/Liter in Australia right now. Given that the country runs on diesel, its a nightmare. Even the few people who don't own cars are hurting, because the ships that bring in food run on diesel, the trucks and trains that bring the food from the ports to the rest of the country run on diesel. The grain producers and cattle farms, some of which are the size of small countries, all run on diesel. The cost of diesel is hitting everyone.

I have seen it up to 2,7€/L here in France. The average price is 2,3€/L yet.

The same thing happened during the pandemic. Cities are built with large zoned swaths for residential, business and commercial all divided. When you can get around easy, that can work. But then suddenly with the WFH shift, entire sections were greatly impacted (such as restaurants in business districts).

On the other hand, Asian and European cities that have dense mixed use zoning fared much better because the restaurants could serve people regardless if they were wfh or at an office.

I remember the MAGA trash putting stickers of Joe Biden on gas pumps when it was $2.60 a gallon. Scum pretty silent now.

So, so great. Thanks for asking

It's going to be emitting less carbon dioxide, at any rate.

The car wash is an additional cost not listed.

The gas station has far higher marginal profit on a car wash than on gas. Also, most of the time you don't even break even on the supposed savings.

It's a trick to get people to spend more money in a way that is more advantageous for the gas station owner.

because the other two comments didn't make it entirely clear if you have no idea what this is about: the pump will ask you if you want to buy a car wash ticket as well. if you say yes, you get the lower fuel price

Empiricism is a different thing entirely

We went all EV last year, and it's been great to not care about the price of gas at the pump.

The real problem though, is all the other things you buy like clothes and groceries, etc. are impacted by the price of gas and oil used to create it and ship it around. You may not notice the price directly in fueling you car, but eventually, you will be paying dearly because of those high gas prices.

I also don’t sweat gas prices but it affects a lot of people disproportionately. A lot of low income earners have to drive a lot, either because of the job or because they can’t live closer to where they work. It’s not like they charge a fuel surcharge for lawn care for example.

The best part about owning the hybrid is watching the Brahs fill up their Brodozers while you drive in, fill up, and leave for two weeks while the gently weep wondering how they can afford their protein.

on sites like GasBuddy, they're going to list the cash price or the car wash price, not the actual price.

Anyone can report the prices on GasBuddy. There is a shady Chevron like the one in the picture next to the station I use, I have rarely if ever seen the cash prices in GasBuddy.

Another scam stations run is a “cash price.”

FWIW, if you use a debit card and run it as debit (bypassing Visa or Mastarcard or whatever) then you will get the cash price and don't need to bring physical money. I'm sure some of the scam is to advertise lower prices when most people will use credit, but they're also charged a 3% fee from the credit card companies, and they're not going to eat that cost, so it gets passed to the consumer.

Enjoy your Kia Piccantos

Americans will eat from dumpsters before they give up their V8 pickups.

If my conversion is correct, that would be aprox 1.45euro/L for Reguolar. Super close to prior-to-iran-war prices but would love to see them pay 2.50.

For US netizens, again if I am converting the right way, 2.50eur/L of Regular would be around $11 per gallon.

Does your country have a working public transit system?

Well, it's also 87 octane.

Where I live it's $6.50 a gallon, but for 95 octane, which I don't think you can even get in the US.

Until ur car runs out of gas one time when driving to work, cos 20 bucks doesn't give u enough gas anymore to drive this far.

Yeah, same here honestly

Lol

without getting into too much detail, there are three separate oil markets in the united states. california has its own. it's not california taxes, it has its own separate refinery and crude intake system with its own problem dealing with futures speculation.

Not all but a lot. It also is blended differently to pollute less, so it costs more. Importing oil from other states to be refined is also more difficult.

Parked at home :)

Cheap marketing trick to look one cent cheaper is all.

Gas prices in the US are in $/gal, so $6.19 per gallon. Some signs just don't include the decimal.

I understand your confusion... I went to Canada for the first time recently and their prices are cents per liter, but (much like American prices) that's not actually indicated anywhere.

they didn't bother with the decimal point just in case.

I buy my gas at Donny's Discount gas. 619 8/10ths

But you can drive many football stadions with that much oil

Edit: disregard my math, I've rounded a gallon to 3 litters because I'm not familiar with freedom units.

Which country? I've checked the historical average in Spain and Gasoil was the most expensive with a 2€/l, gasoline 1.8€/l (tax included), the max I've personally seen is 1.78, in a rather expensive chain (Repsol)

Of course average means there will be a +-0.2€/l depending on the station.

It would seem that particular station is/was more expensive than most of the ones in Spain ever were.

Very volatile situation, but hopefully will lead to a reduction of reliance on Fossils (including Trump) in the near future.

That's still insanely cheap, went to get actual petrol for the first time in 3 years and it's about £1.60/l in Scotland.
