That's nice, what car?
Mitsubishi i-MiEV/Peugeot Ion/Citroen C0 (same car, different branding). This car is awesome. Cheap, can park anywhere, nervous at the start, and surprisingly spacious for its tiny size. I already carried wooden planks of 2.4m (7.8 ft) inside. Too bad it is not produced anymore π’
I don't need to compensate with RAM or Dodge truck. The Peugeot is spacious enough to fit my two huge balls inside it.
I'm shopping for an EV, the market is so anemic there's essentially only 1 model from 1 brand that's not a humongous child killer.

Free as usual, I siphon it out of public school buses in low socioeconomic areas like Ronald Regan intended

Thanks to trump;
Northeast US, ~$2.70 3 days ago, ~$3.10 today and I expect it to continue to rise.
#winning
Edit: $3.19. Up 9Β’ in 4 hours.
Your lucky. I haven't seen prices like that in years. We're around $5 in the northwest us
Ouch. Hate to say it but itβs gonna get a lot worse. One crude price just broke $100/barrel. It was $90 3 days ago.
Sounds like Seattle
I'm in northeast and just drove around from VT to ri yesterday. In mass gas was 3.30 gal, ri was similar +/- 10 cents depending on station. VT seems closer to 3.10 or so. Thank God the warm weather is coming so I can put the damn car away and ride my single cylinder motorcycle that gets 75mpg if I am easy with my right wrist... Also very glad I sold my SUV last year and got a little Impreza cuz that alone has saved me a couple hundred a month during the snow season where I have no choice but to roll in the cage.
5.00 and moving close to 6 thisvweek alone. Fun times
Itβs going to get worse for sure, but in the US I expect this to have an upper bound of pain given how much oil we produce domestically. That doesnβt make us immune, but it should give some limits to the pain.
Not that I think this is ok or anything, just gives me some small hope that the bread lines might take longer to get to.
im hoping for $10, fuck Cars. It's not like this same shit hasn't happened before and the same thing repeats, had decades to navigate the changes needed and just ignored it... Insanity
My dream? an 80% reduction in private cars, and the rise of e bikes and e scoots, medium density housing, and more tree cover; quieter, friendlier, less deadly cities, you know 15 minute cities.
We are dropping to a one car house. Our now single car is an EV, I scopt and take transit, and I can't be more ready for when we don't even need the one

NYC. $0. Walk and take transit. Sorry, I'm insufferable about this but it's really nice.

I don't know exactly but, it's "bad" like everywhere else.
Really looking forward to everything costing more, again.
It's just so surreal that the entire world needs to suffer because Trump is a pedophile child rapist and is happy to throw us all under the bus to avoid people thinking about that.
I'm Australian, and really, really starting to dislike our close relationship with the US. I can see it's a pragmatic relationship, but I hate that we have to sign on to all the idiocy - I really want our guys to tell Trump to stick it up his ass even if it costs us.
Gotta go your own way. Trump is trying to take the world down with him. We only have a few weeks before the oil restriction will cause international concern and militaries will start moving to open up Hormuz. Shit can go bad there.
Northern Netherlands, somwhere around 2,20 for E10 Euro 95, 2,30 for diesel. Diesel is not usually more expensive than petrol.
Germany: Just over 2β¬ per litre, that's about $11/gal
West coast they were already the 3rd highest. Didnβt see much change. Thought it was a tax increase. Average 4.25Β
Italy, between 1,65 and 1,85 for gas and 1,80 to 2,00 for diesel (liter).
great here in Chicago, at least for bicycle commuters
Alberta checking in. Jumped from $1.31/L to $1.52 overnight. (That's about $3.65 and $4.25/gal USD.)
Ouch. Thanks for the conversion.
Netherlands, Amsterdam: around 2.62 eur / litre (for US readers that is around 13.75 usd per gallon). It's a ~25% hike in the last couple of days
*cries in dutch
Thanks Donald!

$5.19 at the cheapest near me in Los Angeles, 3/8. Just a week ago it was around $4.29, but of course I procrastinated filling up my hybrid since I still had a quarter of a tank left... Sigh.
It's around 2.20 per litre here.
Gasco, $4.70 regular. It had been $4.30 for a while. North of Seattle WA.
Was $2.49 a gallon in the center of the US and immediately jumped 50 cents to $2.99 a gallon overnight a few days ago.
India, ~100 INR/1.08 USD per litre (ie frozen), the government has refused to hike prices for now.
Oh, just the regular $11.50 or so.
That's a guess though.
I saw 2,30 β¬ per liter at my local gas station
and I just multiply by five for all the Usonians out there.
It'll likely hit $25 in a couple of months.
Yesterday in Spain prices were around 1,88 for diesel and 1,79 for leadless gasoline
Portugal, Lisbon: β¬1.81 / litre = $ 7.96 / gallon.
Like $0.13 per KWh at home, minus whatever the panels generate. Probably not going up since it's all hydro anyway
4 something a gallon for 93, I really donβt pay attention to the price
Today (March 8), US Midwest, $3.49/gal
$3.50 here too at almost every gas station in my area in the mountain states.
Two weeks ago I filled up for $3.00, and a few months ago it was $1.70 (that only lasted for about a week though).

$3.79/gal in western Pennsylvania..
1.529 a liter. Good thing I have a subcompact!
Just watched the gas price go from $1.110 to $1.500 in my town in Canada. Very glad to be driving an EV.

South Australia, my fuel gained 30c/L yesterday. I work at the servo, I put the prices up myself :(
2.05/L to 2.35/L
Midwest $3.59/gal today
Southern Europe, went from 1,7 euro/liter approximately to about 1,85 recently, so about 9% increase.
4.19 for 91 in Oklahoma 2.99 for unleaded
we have not been driving and I have not filled up in at least two weeks.
