It looks like somebody accidentally scraped the last one off, so I replaced it as a courtesy.
“And again, remember, with the war, it’s just artificial. It’s a little bit high [but] it’s a small price to pay” - latest Trump quote i saw on rising petrol costs
“it’s a little bit high but it’s a small price to pay” is perfect for those Trump stuckers
Drop a link and I’m buying
That might backfire when suddenly all the trump supporters at the pump go “Oh, dear leader says it’s a small price, okay then. Can’t believe all those ungrateful libtards are complaining about gas prices!”
Here in Ohio cheap unleaded is around 3.70, but only because the red governor purely out of the kindness of his heart and to ease the burden of the constituents he cares souch about recognized it’s 1 month til the midterm elections and suspended the gas tax for 90 days
Look into “eggshell stickers” when you restock. They flake off and are hard to remove
This is the correct answer
My calculations may be wrong but here in northern Europe we pay double that
It’s no wonder everyone’s getting new cars here.
Electricity is about a quarter of that for the same mileage.
Using the current prices and my own mileage, it would take 5 years to finance a new car only by the savings on fuel.
Same here
The money I would save on fuel would be the same that I’d have to pay to pay off a new small EV.
My only concern is that I’d have to buy a larger car than that, to be able to drive the distances that I some times do in my diesel car.
But I’m almost willing to have to charge more often, than spend money on a more expensive one
If I were to hazard a guess you guys are also probably less reliant. Here vehicles are used to get anywhere and an increase to this much even if less expensive then you guys is enough that some people can’t afford food anymore.
Personally I have 5 miles to the closest grocery store and 11 miles to work.
Its not crazy long, but long enough to need a car because there are no busses or trains and cycling or scooters isn’t always safe in the weather that we get here.
My confusion though is, why cars over there use so much more gas when, as you say, people need them. I’d assume that smaller more economical cars would be more popular in a country where distances are long
Further more, I think that the issue about not affording food, comes down to wages and not gas prices
Diesel is over $8/gallon near me
You’re getting on for European prices. UK here is about £2 per litre. After conversion from £ to USD and litres to US Gallon that’s about $10
European prices in the most car centric and one of the most spread out country on earth will hurt for sure
Damn
Almost $12 pr gallon here, but that’s in Europe too (I assume you are too?)
My FIL uses superglue when he puts up anti trump stickers.
I like his style
You should look into eggshell stickers
Well done.
This guy might be the single biggest driving force for renewables adoption. Who would’ve thought?
Nice
Where do I get one of those stickers
Etsy

It wasn’t his corruption that sunk trump.
It wasn’t the epstein files that explicitly states he raped children as young as 12.
It wasn’t his bungling of ICE gestapo that got multiple Americans killed
It was gas and diesel prices. What a stupid fucking country.

“got Americans killed” sounds like they removed the airbags in their cars, or dared them to swim with gators.
It was murder.

It wasn’t the army of masked gunmen harassing brown-skinned people and executing Americans on the streets.

Has it sunk him? He is still in the whitehouse rather than a cell.
