Better get yourself a 50gal barrel before they start rationing fuel.

Look up gas prices in Europe and you'll feel better. Be aware prices are in liters, not gallons and the Euro is worth more than the dollar. E.g. today in Germany in my region 2.27 Euro for a liter.

£1.40 a litre in the UK at the moment.

I think the difference here is that we aren't fooled by right wing politicians who blame prices on their left wing counterparts.

Trump made petrol prices and inflation a key policy issue that he alone could fix. And now its worse.

Although the fact that he could be brought down by petrol prices and not him being a demented war-mongering kiddy fiddler is deeply saddening.

People don't see him diddling kids. They do see the number on the gas pump though.

If my math is right, that comes out to roughly $10 USD per gallon. Ouch.

Most places in the world don't subsidize oil and gas to this degree at national and state levels. USA is one of the outliers

If you're using public transport in USA, you're paying for the toll free Highway roads and subsidized fuel. In other countries the toll and high taxes ensure you pay for what you use.

We've passed €2.5/l in Denmark. I suspect we'll hit the infamous 20 DKK/l next week. I think it was during the full-scale invasion that gas stations rushed to replace their price counters since they could only go up to 19.99 and now we're about to hit those prices twice in less than 5 years.
