Someone online posted that the reason things are all expensive, is the Rs are trying to fix all the problems caused by Democrats.

I can't understand the mental gymnastics needed to come up with, and believe that statement.

Wouldnt want an unstable woman in charge of things now, would we?

/s for those with glacial mental faculties

One COVID like event could collapse demand in a matter of weeks, like it did last time and gas dropped to 1.85 a gallon where I live. No one was going anywhere. Air quality improved, and really nothing changed. Same self hating dipshit pedo/closet gay/rape ape president.

Almost like he's setup his whole 1st term to benefit the middle east oil subsidies his family has invested in. Like how the Liv golf foundation was just a way to funnel money to right wing Assholes

California has higher than average gas prices for a myriad of complications reasons, not the least of which being a largely independent Petro industry.

Amusingly it's a different gallon in the UK, while it's mostly obsolete it's the volume of ten pounds of water or about 4.5 litres.

Fuel has been sold by the litre for many years, but it was deemed too expensive to send someone round changing all the road signs to km/h and kilometres. Fair enough in my view but we then made the absolutely daft decision to keep measure fuel efficiency in miles to the gallon, not miles to the litre or even litres / 100 miles. Confusing to Britons who don't use gallons for anything else, confusing to other Europeans who've been entirely metric for generations, and confusing to Americans who use a different gallon.

Every time the price of gas spikes, people ask me about my ebike, a coworker was asking about it yesterday lol.

You are but the americans seem to think every thing is a competition.

Or... Just stick a 1 in front of the number?

Or start selling by the ~~liter~~ quart.

It's a great big club and you and me ain't in it.

While you are right, prices in the countries listed were never cheap to begin with because fuels in Europe are highly taxed.

Also, for the same reason, most European cars are leagues above US ones in terms of fuel efficiency. Fuel was always expensive here, so we started making and purchasing cars that were smaller and more efficient in order to save.

In the US, efficiency was never the goal because with cheap fuel prices, nobody cared if their truck was huge and drank several times what an European car drank to make the same distance.
