They hide various gas stations but they are all expensive. Here's from one minute ago:

This one was in Arkansas

[–] Dead_or_Alive@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

I stuck one on a gas station in Texas today. Gas was over $4 a gallon.

It feels good to travel through red states and shit on their orange god.

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

$3.99 for E0 gas is a fucking steal. Normally you pay more for E0, this is below the country average right now.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The E0 is the one that was removed. It's only an option for the 91.

[–] jambudz@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That’s still dirt cheap for 91. It’s 4.509 for 87 by me right now

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Yeah - prices vary a lot. Especially with state gas taxes. Texas hasn't increased its tax on gas in over 30 years, for instance. As a percentage, they're barely a quarter today what they were when I was first driving.

[–] Solventbubbles@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

My dude, I'm paying $6 over here in California. I would love to have $4 gas.

Today in eastern MA. Up up up we go…..

Gas Price per Gallon atm in Austria: 8 Dollar

Befor this Bullshit it was at around 4,50 Dollar

[–] NotJohnSmith@feddit.uk 1 points 4 hours ago

I mean that's an insane percentage increase. My bro in Berlin (I'm in London) was saying they've seen 50% but you guys win! In the UK we're at about 10% increase since the Israel/US/Iran war

Currently about 605 yen ($3.90 USD) in (rural) Japan. That only seems cheap in dollars because the yen has tanked in the past few years. 5 years ago when there were somewhat similar gas prices it would've been about $5.75

[–] delikt@lemmy.zip 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

So you can't compare it before and after the Trump-israel-Iran War (i called like this cause i noticed the USA dosn't wanted this war at all) cause your currency value changed that much?

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 1 points 10 hours ago

So these days I'm seeing 154 yen per liter on the low end, and in 2019 I also saw about that price. But right now 1 USD is 156 yen, but in 2019 it was only worth around 105 to 110.

Sad thing is he absolutely did do that. Unlike Biden who was blamed for the chaos that came from the pandemic.

Hey me too! SoCal for those curious about the price.

[–] Bischmeister@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

I've always loved that one. Looking straight into a solar eclipse bare-eyed, proving how much of a genuine fucktard he really is.

Unleaded 88, wtf ? Does the US have gasoline with such a low octane ? or is it the price in inch pounds per linear whatsadoodle ?

[–] JK_Flip_Flop@lemmy.world 27 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] Geobloke@aussie.zone 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I still don't understand, can you compare that to something completely arbitrary like bourbon, Coke or football ovals?

[–] Jerb322@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Not quite Everclear but stronger than Jack Daniel's.

[–] Geobloke@aussie.zone 3 points 21 hours ago

Damn, that actually makes sense

It's Joe Barack Hussein Biden's fault.

[–] MrKoyun@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago
