Default Gas Prices
And we think we're hosed. SIL is over from Germany. Gas is 2.20Euro per liter. That comes out to $8.78 a gallon! For reference gas at Costco is $3.57, which is 2 bucks higher than 2 years ago. Still don't like what the idiot-in-charge has done with our oil prices.

Barrel price is just over $105, why are we still paying the $150 barrel prices at the pumps?

Europe's gas prices are usually double of ours. It's been that way for over 50 years

About the same as Canada. The good news is I don't plan on going anywhere near either of these two shitholes.

$5.60/gal for diesel here. Always wondered why it is the most expensive now when it is the easiest to make?

I used the F250 yesterday to visit the orthopedist. I felt like I was taking a boat ride on the lake with the fuel prices.

You'll see approximately the same price we pay advertised on their pumps but it's per liter rather than gallon. So yeah, it's not twice as much, it's closer to 4 times more

$109+ for WTI this morning, and we're not even in the peak travel season yet.

Good times.
