Oof.

That's high for over there.

I think before the war kicked off it was averaging $3.50 a gallon (3.78L) and now is averaging about $4.50. American mongo cars use a lot more petrol but it's not taxed nearly as high as they're a fuel producer.

Meanwhile after emergency tax cuts here it's running about €1.83 a litre or $8.30 a gallon for unleaded or near $10 for diesel.

The US uses a slightly different Octane rating system that averages slightly lower than the more common RON. The system they use averages RON with MON which is measured under different engine conditions. The pump is labeled with (R+M)/2 to indicate this in the image. According to Wikipedia, 88 is equivalent to 95 RON.

No idea why they feel the need to be different.

The US uses a weird mix of RON and MON ratings (printed on the buttons) - 88 on their rating would be 91 RON, which is still very low for more modern engines, but not gut-wrenching at least.

Over here in Spain (where almost everything is pretty much cheap) gas is ~9$usd/gallon Heard a friend in Germany (whom also doesn’t drive (anymore)) say it’s minimum ~11$usd/gallon over there (Edit: we did the math to convert from €eur/Liter to $usd/gal and rounded to closest .50¢ (both were rounded down lol) it’s not average for the entire countries just the two prices for where we live and our friend lives) Anywho it’s gone up that’s for sure but we’re not heavily impacted

Haha is that the picture of trump looking up at the solar eclipse?

4.99ish where I am, for the last week or so.

I wouldn't call it lucking out but a couple weeks ago I was hitting the store midday and saw 1 station had jumped to $4.29. a couple blocks later I saw 2 stations still had it at 3.89 so I immediately filled up. Within a couple days it had already jumped to somewhere around 4.50 and days later it's at 4.99.

Its about 6.50 to 7.20 near me depending on the station

Look at this guy not from California!

6.89 the other day
