What the hell are you all doing in the US. Props for being on the decline but jesus why is it so high to begin with.

Cheap ass oil from being a producer, the gas station down the street has gasoline for $0.98/liter.

About 1/6 of that is taxes and should be higher

Fuck that is cheap. I knew prices were lower than in the EU, but dam. And people still complain about gas prices?

The average US driver drives twice as much in a year as the average EU driver, so they are at least paying for gas more often on average, so it comes up more I guess?

Our alternative transportation options are shitty. The vcar and oil industries have been suppressing public transportation development for a century-plus.

You have a gas station in the US that chargers per liter?

I'm assuming they converted it because they're talking to non-us people, and we're the only idiots using gallons.

[–] Pizza@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I think most gas stations charge by whatever volume you want as long as you're willing to do the conversion yourself

china will likely be at that level by 2040
