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
Not to mention that like half of our population is entirely convinced that man made climate change is a hoax. Many of those people go out of their way to drive the cars and trucks with the worst gas mileage, and some go even further to modify their vehicles to produce even worse gas mileage, and "roll coal" to offend the people that do actually care about the environment.
We live in a country with many ignorant and selfish individuals.
It's more like a third to a quarter of our population, but since they're overrepresented politically due to concessions made to the slave states, it feels like they're half.
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.
I think most gas stations charge by whatever volume you want as long as you're willing to do the conversion yourself
Trucks!
china will likely be at that level by 2040
