In Austria 80% more
If you do the conversion, gasoline is about 8.22 per gallon in Europe.
To be completely fair to the americans complaining about fuel prices though. European prices are by design. Prices increasef in the 70’s during the oil crisis, and afterwards we kept them high through taxation. We did that to give a larger incentive to oil reducing behavior like buying a car that drives longer per liter, or insulating your house better. This was to reduce our dependance in oil so another crisis wouldn’t hit as hard.
USA didn’t do that, because USA has/had plenty oil to support itself, and those regulations would mean less oil sales and thus less money for the giant oil companies. Wouldn’t wanna take money out of the wallets of the poor rich cunts right?
So in short, Europe voted for less oil dependance because we don’t produce a lot of it, USA voted for more, because their rich cunts have always controlled the government.
The taxes thing is important thing to realize, in the US it’s like maybe 20cents a gallon and in parts of Europe it’s 7 dollars a gallon.
and they are desperate to control it even more due to iran war, causing strain on supply.
EU, gas is more expensive but they have a reasonable enough transportation system in most countries, of course like long distances you might need car instead.
$10.29/gallon at the cheapest gas station in my city.
why would Obama do this?! 😭
Thanks Obanma!!!
Okay, but on the plus side we’re hardly talking about the Epstein files so I think we can chalk this up as a win for America.
its by design, he already tried 2 other assasination attempt after the iran war started affect EVERYONE now to distract people. Todd blanche being suddenly replacing Pam bondi he needed a distraction from that, plus other portions of the files are being exposed. the MSM keeps reporting on his gaffes though as if its a “shocking thing” the resistance grifters arnt helping either, like BTC,etc. Some in the DNC doesnt want it released either.
Remember all the “I did that” stickers? Yeah… those assholes are oddly quiet now.
The same ones who harassed and terrorized drag queens for being groomers, they’re outside the white house protesting the orange turd for and his cronies for being kid-diddlers right…right?
Paraphrasing Cory Doctorow, Comrade Trump is hormuzing the world into the full Gretacene.
im seeing in cali, its 6+$/gallon from shell stations. and 5-5.9 everywhere else.
Electric vehicle and solar panel enjoyers:
Unfortunately, gasoline woes will ripple through nearly every commodity or grocery that you partake in. If you’re truly off grid, it probably won’t do much. But as long as you shop from grocery stores or buy things period, you’re gonna feel it a little. Not as much as a gas-guzzler, but you’ll feel it.
I mean I’m just piss posting and I’m deeply concerned for how it is going to impact my community, which is extremely impoverished and working class, and often have super long commutes.
It’s not just gas. Any plastic.
My job is already seeing disposable gloves explode in price
Perhaps ethane based plastics not affected very much in the USA at least. Its a “waste product” from shale gas extraction. There are laws on how much producers can burn, and if they don’t have a home for it they have to stop extracting methane. So they price it so cheap its essentially paying people to take it so they can go back to extracting methane. The USA produces 40% of the worlds ethane. This is also one of the reasons plastic recycling isn’t financially feasible here. Ethane is just too cheap to make virgin plastic vs the costly process of collection and recycling of non-virgin plastics. source
Half of the modern world is reliant on petroleum based products. Gasoline and Diesel are about 70% of modern crude oil usage, but that remaining 30% is everywhere.
the Amish and the Sentinalese laughing at us rn
The sentinelese are always laughing at us.
You know that meme about how we’re meant for eating fruit on the beach but instead we have to pay taxes? I’d violently defend my ability to opt out of that as well.
Idk modern medical care and pain relief is also pretty nice. There are some pretty brutal ways to die that we can avoid with modern technology

That sounds like Commie talk to be citing reality.

I paid 6.49 for premium today in Ann Arbor.
Real question, no shade at all, just ignorance - why premium? What sort of vehicle is that ideal for, and what is the advantage?
Yeah I could Google but I’m more interested in a human’s thoughts
Its kinda a weird naming thing, premium doesn’t mean better it’s just the rating and you should always use what grade is recommended for your engine
Any vehicle with a performance motor needs premium fuel to avoid damaging the engine.
These engines run at a higher compression in order to get more power, and the premium fuel prevents engine knock or pinging, the result of premature combustion from less stable fuel in lower octane ratings.
A vehicle with a performance motor doesn’t need to be some luxury line BMW or supercar, either. More common, reasonably priced sports cars also fall into this category.
Motorcycle engines also can benefit, especially ones with high compression engines. By memory I recall my F850GS is rated 5hp less using low octane fuel. It was also recommended to use premium to solve a jerky low rev response I was having, and surprisingly it worked. Not sure if because of the additives (had to seek another brand that had premium) or because the octane.
