- propagandist 8mo agoGas is $4 a gallon? We have discovered aliens!
- ZeroCool2u 8mo agoMore like over $5.00 per gallon, but your point stands.
- Joe_Cool 8mo agoSo normal Europe prices from before this thing. It's up to $8.50 per gallon there now.

- thebruce87m 8mo agoAre you comparing the same gallons?
- 13hunteo 8mo agoCries in UK $8 a gallon
- loeg 8mo agoYour gallons are a bit bigger than US gallons, but not 2x bigger.
- rb12345 8mo agoAssuming US gallons, $8/US gallon works out as £1.60/litre. That sounds about right for current UK prices, depending on what and where you're buying it. (Yes, fuel is expensive here compared to the US; that's largely down to fuel duty and taxes.)
- idiotsecant 8mo agoWA state. I would be ecstatic if it was $4.
- thewebguyd 8mo agoSame. I don't think I've seen prices below $4 in seattle since like 2021, with a few exceptions here and there.
- landl0rd 8mo agoMy gas was $3.09/gal this morning Still too expensive but not exactly going to bankrupt me.
- callumprentice 8mo agoSoCal gas is at least $6.85 a gallon.
- kjkjadksj 8mo agoNot that high. In the 5s.
- callumprentice 8mo ago$6.84999 at the Shell station near my gym this morning.
- kjkjadksj 8mo ago$5.66 today at the arco nearby. LA fwiw.
- callumprentice 8mo agoUnderstood. This was in Manhattan Beach which is expensive for everything but still, that delta is incredible. Actually, I noticed one near there yesterday on PCH (forget which station) was $6.89999 for the good stuff.
- esseph 8mo agoThat would be double my cost of gas where I am from 2 years ago. That's insane.
- kjkjadksj 8mo agoInsane was me paying this much during the gas price hikes in the early 2010s. We aren’t even there yet. Adjusted for inflation thats probably $8 gas.
- esseph 8mo agoHad been over $7/gal in Menlo Park https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/menlo-park-gas-prices-7-dollars/4050607/ https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/menlo-park-gas-prices-...
- netsharc 8mo agoAs Trump said, people won't need to worry about elections after 2024... I wonder if Hitler ever said that in the 30s..

- jasonlotito 8mo agoI mean, the comment is based on what the VP of this administration said about the President. And I think considering what this administration has said is important. Do you think otherwise?
- netsharc 8mo agoIf you wish to divert from the discussion of whether free and fair elections is still possible in the USA, and would rather enter the meta-discussion, I'll bite, and cite Wikipedia: > Godwin's law can be applied mistakenly or abused as a distraction, a diversion, or even censorship, when miscasting an opponent's argument as hyperbole even when the comparison made by the argument is appropriate. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin's_law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin's_law

- Detrytus 8mo agoI wonder if Godwins law and such did more harm than good in the end? I mean: yes, Hitler was a terrible person and Holocaust was horrible, but, by putting so much effort into convincing everyone that Hitler and Holocaust were so unique things in the history of mankind you’re basically creating a blind spot, where the resurgence of fascism goes unnoticed because everyone thinks “it can’t as bad as Hitler and the Nazis, right?”
