    Apparently I live in one of the highest gas price places in the world. We’re at $5 a gallon already. Do you want to update your meme? I can take a photo.

      Go for it, unless having a lower bar for the prices better future-proofs the caption

        I’m 2 blocks away I’ll take the photo in 10 hours if you think anyone will care. Probably better photos on the news.

      Laughs in italian gas prices: we are at 2€/lt.

      1gal equals 3.78 lts. Do the math…

      I’m so happy with my EV.

      5€/gal would mean 1.32€/lt. I don’t remember seeing gas that cheap in the last 10 years at least.

        €2/liter is $8.77/gallon.

        We are built on car transportation. Some people I know drive 2 hours to get to work in vehicles that average 15 miles per gallon (6.38 kmpl). At 50¢/mile it would be a national emergency.

        Edit, I think these people are full of it and only quote the longest times to get home on the very worst days. I’m betting they take a little more than an hour to get there.
