A year from now, after we’ve been paying $5 a gallon for gas, we’ll find out the oil companies had the biggest record profit year in their history. Then they’ll announce layoffs.
Don’t forget to convert the currency. $5 USD /gal is about $1.50 CAD /L, which is bang for Western Canada and cheaper than gas prices right now in Eastern Canada.
You’re right though, those aren’t the insane prices the original poster thinks they are for countries outside the US.
Here in the Netherlands it is 2.08€/L (9.10 U.S. dollars / US gallon) at its cheapest and 2.48€/L (10.84 U.S. dollars / US gallon) at its most expensive. While a lot of that is taxes, we are well past that mark.

Fyi Canadians pay well over 5$ a gallon. I’m sure others pay significantly more as well.
Just explaining so you know that many people won’t understand your comment

It’s about 650 per gallon Canadian. I meant it’s already above 5 usd per gallon
All the pumps are $1.80 for standard in my city.
I live in Los Angeles, and the price of gas for premium is like 5.60 or higher. It’s ‘high’ for us but not insane.

Cute, in Austria it’s at 7€ now, Germany is higher. But we don’t drive gas guzzling tanks.
