  Still less than 75 % of the maximum price of gasoline here during the pandemic in combination with the Ukraine war. 😅

  Gas price is only more expensive.

  Diesel is $8.30 here now.

      20 min bike ride. Also I don’t use gasoline or diesel, I have an EV.

        So your commute is a fraction of a commute in the US.

        Here it might be a 30-45 minute ride in a car. One way. Do you see why $5 fuel would be a much larger problem here?

        I have an EV

        Good for you. So do I.

        Everything you own and eat involves a diesel engine somewhere. That is the real problem. People with EV’s have to eat still.
