    $4.43 per gallon is still only ⅔ of the price as in Northern Europe right now lol. But I guess we’re better off to pay for it? Less dependent on it? I dunno. I have an EV so it’s whatever for me, personally.

      Ah, I went by the image. Okay, $5.85 is still about ¾ of the price. 😄

        Hasn’t been that cheap in months in California. Diesel has been $7 a gallon since February

    Make all the things great, price tags, national debt, his book of crimes and general assholery is great enough to be split into volumes by now…
