Gas price is only more expensive.

How long is your commute
victorz@lemmy.world 7 hours ago
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?
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.
