Oh, just the regular $11.50.

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

[–] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

I tried that, but I froze my lips because the school buses nearby run on LPG.

[–] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

$2.99 this morning in northeast OK. It was $2.39 on March 1st, and jumped to $2.99 on the 2nd. I was surprised it didn't go up this morning... But I'm sure it has gone up since I drove to work.

Soooo glad I have a silly little fuel efficient car.

[–] Marketsnodsbury@lemmy.zip 1 points 5 hours ago

This morning in Northern California: $4.89/gallon for regular at Costco, which is a good deal in my area, although you have to have a paid membership to get it.

[–] redparadise@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 8 hours ago

India, ~100 INR/1.08 USD per litre (ie frozen), the government has refused to hike prices for now.

[–] xonigo@lemmy.zip 2 points 9 hours ago

$3.79/gal in western Pennsylvania..

[–] shaggyb@lemmy.world 0 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Still $0.35/kWh at the DCFC I usually use. It's still cheap season. Will probably go up to $0.39 in June.

$0.13 at home, I think. Might be up to $0.15.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

If you converted that to eMPG it would actually contribute to the conversation, particularly with the increasing costs of electricity.

[–] shaggyb@lemmy.world -1 points 4 hours ago

Those units don't describe the same thing. Not to mention eMPG is arbitrary and not a particularly useful or accurate way to describe much of anything.

If what you're looking for is cost to operate, it's about 3 cents per mile on home charging and about 8.5 cents on DCFC. I tend to average 250 Wh/mi.

My closest supermarket has Diesel: Β£1.509 Unleaded: Β£1.379

[–] DavidDoesLemmy@aussie.zone 4 points 12 hours ago

It's around 2.20 per litre here.

[–] hanrahan@slrpnk.net 16 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

had decades to navigate the changes needed and just ignored it… Insanity

it is insanity, but not for the lack of navigation; it was about preventing china from gaining economic leverage with affordable electric vehicles and scalable renewable technologies.

That makes no sense lmao

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

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 2 points 13 hours ago

If my rough calculations are correct, we'd love to have gas prices that are only 50% higher than that. πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

[–] jtrek@startrek.website 9 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] baller_w@lemmy.zip 0 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I’m curious how energy costs affect public transit. Of course they have very good bargaining power and are well set up to augment energy prices.

To ~~Google~~ DuckDuckGo!

[–] jtrek@startrek.website 1 points 4 hours ago

Fare changes usually are slower to change than gas prices for customers at the gas station. Bus fare in NYC is $3, and they can't just change that day by day. (Unless our new mayor makes the buses free to ride!)

It might be more expensive as energy costs go up, but services aren't supposed to be run at a profit. The value in a mass transit system is very high.

But there is probably an impact. Now I'm curious about how they decide the fares

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 1 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

Canada V3L. Transit is amazing, but only when it's train-based.

I loved the MTA and PATH when I was there.

[–] fizzle@quokk.au 10 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Bazell@lemmy.zip 1 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Bad. Even you if you live in a country that exports gas, prices still rise.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 2 points 8 hours ago

Because gas prices are not controlled by supply and demand, they are price fixed.

Electric car and solar pannel. 🍿🍿🍿

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 😒

I don't need to compensate with RAM or Dodge truck. The Peugeot is spacious enough to fit my two huge balls inside it.

[–] alsimoneau@lemmy.ca 3 points 10 hours ago

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.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (4 children)

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.

[–] tyrant@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Your lucky. I haven't seen prices like that in years. We're around $5 in the northwest us

South West Florida, a week ago - $2.60, as of yesterday $3.69Β

Canada rejoices when our gas is only at us$5/gal.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 1 points 8 hours ago

Gee...maybe not buy so many SUVs and pickups then.

[–] gergolippai@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

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!

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.

[–] Vinny_93@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Northern Netherlands, somwhere around 2,20 for E10 Euro 95, 2,30 for diesel. Diesel is not usually more expensive than petrol.

[–] parson0@startrek.website 9 points 1 day ago

Germany: Just over 2€ per litre, that's about $11/gal

[–] FiveBlueShields@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 day ago

Portugal, Lisbon: €1.81 / litre = $ 7.96 / gallon.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 2 points 22 hours ago

we have not been driving and I have not filled up in at least two weeks.

[–] iByteABit@lemmy.ml 2 points 23 hours ago

Southern Europe, went from 1,7 euro/liter approximately to about 1,85 recently, so about 9% increase.

[–] swordgeek@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Alberta checking in. Jumped from $1.31/L to $1.52 overnight. (That's about $3.65 and $4.25/gal USD.)

California. Prices vary between $4.75 and 5.75 a gallon. We're in I think our third decade of paying 2x what everyone else in the US pays.

I mostly drive an EV though, so I can rest easy knowing that California electricity rates are 3x the national average. lol

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 1 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Your electricity costs are awful.

[–] chillpanzee@lemmy.ml 1 points 16 hours ago

People started buying EVs like crazy due to high gas prices; the utilities responded with big hikes in electricity prices. They work hard to fuck over consumers.

[–] LoafedBurrito@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago

Carolinas. $2.39 last Tuesday. $3.29 today. It was $3.39 a few days ago. Thanks to trump and his refusal to go to prison over the EPSTIEN files.
