@chiffchaff @hannah Wait... Is gasoline cheaper in Spain than in the US?

[chiffchaff@tech.lgbt]

@kAlvaro @hannah I think this must be a super-special "gas station" in the US, but I was surprised petrol was similar there to the UK.

(Fwiw, source for calculation Wolfram Alpha).

@chiffchaff @hannah
That's close to the £1.72 per litre I saw today when I cycled () past a petrol station in Crawley.

@jago @chiffchaff @hannah Italy was the same before the government reduced it with an emergency policy (paying for it basically).

@hannah "thanks bill watterson" we all say in unison

@hannah

$US 8.31/gal is $Can 3.02/L. That's spicy.

Regular gasoline locally is $CAN 1.73/L or $US 4.76

@hannah @vxo Come on, in Germany Diesel was at 12.00 $/gal today ...

[sillyunicode@mastodon.catgirl.cloud]

@hannah for context as someone who is in that area, the actual prices average to around 6 bucks a gallon, I last refilled for around $5.80 though I've gotten better deals

@hannah Singapore petrol prices are still 50% higher than that. And that doesn't stop people from buying petrol powered cars.

[energisch_@troet.cafe]

@hannah but that's still cheap, an US gallon is almost 4 Liter, so prices are even cheaper than in EU or similar.
