Did Trump cut fuel taxes? or why is it only 1€/l or so.
That’s high for over there.
I think before the war kicked off it was averaging $3.50 a gallon (3.78L) and now is averaging about $4.50. American mongo cars use a lot more petrol but it’s not taxed nearly as high as they’re a fuel producer.
Meanwhile after emergency tax cuts here it’s running about €1.83 a litre or $8.30 a gallon for unleaded or near $10 for diesel.
In January in Texas, the average was $2.37/gallon. Now it’s close to $4.00
Today in eastern MA. Up up up we go……
Oof.
$4.57 here. $3.99 is the George Bush of gas prices. It sucks, but it looks so good compared to where we’re going.
Over here in Spain (where almost everything is pretty much cheap) gas is ~9$usd/gallon Heard a friend in Germany (whom also doesn’t drive (anymore)) say it’s minimum ~11$usd/gallon over there (Edit: we did the math to convert from €eur/Liter to $usd/gal and rounded to closest .50¢ (both were rounded down lol) it’s not average for the entire countries just the two prices for where we live and our friend lives) Anywho it’s gone up that’s for sure but we’re not heavily impacted
It’s Joe Barack Hussein Biden’s fault.
Well gas prices were definitely lower on February 26th before that asshole started a war with Iran.
No its because Zohran Mamdani wants to tax the rich ofc.
I wish my gas was only a dollar more per gallon
Right, under $5/gallon? Braggart.
That’s looks like ~1.30-1.50 more a gallon to me.
I bought a 100 of these putting up at every gas station I go to.
Good job vandalizing the gas station of someone that just trying to run a business and has to clean up after your safe rebellion. You’re really sticking it to the man there.
You say that shit when the Biden stickers were fuckin everywhere?
Yes. It’s all vandalism. It doesn’t matter whose face is on the sticker.
Link or you never said it
people are disappearing for unsafe rebellion. At least he’s doing something.
Oh no! Not a little sticker.
Oh god would someone please think of the business owners!
They could just leave it there as it’s not hurting their business and is also true.
And remember, property destruction as a form of protest has a long a storied history that generally works far more effectively than marches or rallies and is part of the escalation of the protest process if The People are ignored. It gets far worse so they should take it seriously and listen/act on the concerns of the protestors. They wouldn’t like what comes next.
thanks. extra stickers for the gas stations that play ads
Perfectly calculated response. I love you, friend. Go on, get sticky with it.
I saw someone used duct tape on the little vent that houses the speakers on one of these. It actually almost completely blocked out the sound. Whoever did that fucks
Sound? The video is bad enough.
I would use fucking fire.
Its usually egregiously loud too.
They used to include a mute feature on them to shut them up, now that’s gone too.
Yeah still on some of the older ones, but yeah, I imagine that the lack of a mute button spawned the duct tape man
Oh damn that’s good to know- sounds a lot safer than jamming a pocket knife in it
How’s the air up there?
safe rebellion.
Oh, should they be throwing Molotovs? That’s probably easier for the attendant to clean up
“Oh damn, gas prices went up so filling a tank went up $10… I know! I’ll blow $100 on useless stickers and still complain about the $10!”
Oh yeah? You know it takes more energy to point that out than to leave me alone? – Bill Hicks
I’ve actually replied to emails saying “it took you more time and effort to ask me to ask someone this question than it would have been to just ask them yourself”
The real issue here is that you think it costs $100 for 100 stickers.
I mean, it’s one sticker. What could it cost? Ten dollars?
None of your argument makes you sound smart, likeable, or relevant. Stop posting forever.
I “blew” 6.00 on stickers and I’m not complaining about anything.
My pack was a buck fifty. 🤷
rarely the president has as much responsibility for the gas prices
Also rare for the president to be a convicted felon. Yet this monster found a way.
Probably less rare for them to be a rapist and pedophile but he’s definitely the most publicized at it.
You’re right, I think we’ve finally surpassed Thomas Jefferson at this point, though I suspect TJ’s rape and pedophilia are still mostly danced around when people talk about Sally Hemings (who was 14-16 years old and a peer to his daughter when it began, while Jefferson was in his mid forties).
It’s almost like El Taco heard about people trying to explain that the president wasn’t actually capable of affecting gas prices and went “hold my
beerMcD’s”.
Huh, how does the octane rating work in the US?
Common octane ratings in NZ are 91, 95, & 98.
I’m guessing that there are different ways to calculate the rating, rather than the actual fuel being that different.
Yes. USA, Canada and Mexico use a different rating. You need to add about 5 to get the same number on the more common RON scale.
There’s two primary ways to measure octane. RON and MON. Most countries pick one- specifically RON. The US and Canada average the two, for some reason.
In Canada, The United States, and Mexico, the advertised octane rating is the average of the RON and the MON, called the Anti-Knock Index (AKI). It is often written on pumps as (R+M)/2. AKI is also sometimes called PON (Pump Octane Number).
Because of the 8 to 12 octane number difference between RON and MON noted above, the AKI shown in Canada and the United States is 4 to 6 octane numbers lower than elsewhere in the world for the same fuel.
There’s a table in the wiki article that shows the equivalence of different systems
That was quite informative, thanks. I’d always wondered about the specifics and had never remembered to look it up.
Hey me too! SoCal for those curious about the price.
Haha is that the picture of trump looking up at the solar eclipse?
I’ve always loved that one. Looking straight into a solar eclipse bare-eyed, proving how much of a genuine fucktard he really is.
You guys life in a tech dystopia with a utopian future sticker plastered in front.
What’s going on with that “unleaded 88” that’s cheaper than regular 87 octane? I’ve never heard of it before.
I think it’s 15% Ethanol. That particular tank was empty.
Pointless too, the cost per gallon “savings” is nullified and then some by the loss of MPG.
They price “premium” above the MPG savings also. It’s a no-win all around for us.
Ah, that makes sense, although I’m surprised they didn’t call it “E15”. I think in my area they don’t bother with it because regular unleaded is already “up to 10% ethanol” anyway, so it’d only be a 5% difference and that’s not worth taking a slot on the pump.
The funniest part is that “Premium” is still 4 RON lower than european regular.
See comment by Random Stickman, different standard systems give different octane numbers for the same fuel. Edit: according to the Wikipedia chart, the RON of that “Regular Unleaded” would be 91-92. That 87 on the pump is the RON minus the MON, divided by 2 to give the AKI.
The RON of US Premium is 96-98, is that closer to your European number?
Here’s the explanatory link they posted: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octane_rating
As for prices, I live in California where Regular is currently $6.50 near me. Some of the difference from OP’s prices is state and local taxes that go towards things that benefit me, some is because our gas has to be formulated to reduce smog. Which also benefits me.
Wait what? This is like when I learned about farenheit all over again.
Hey it was news to me too. Yay new knowledge!
I wish it was that cheap. It’s all over $4/gallon for the cheap stuff. Even the Costco is $4.19 for 85.
We all knew the type of degenerate losers who put up the Biden “I did that stickers” were just partisan hacks who would (and largely do not) feel the same way now that Trump actually has directly impacted fuel prices. That was always part of the reason people rolled their eyes every time we saw one.
Joke’s on you - I can only use Premium.
Same, unfortunately.
I’m so happy my shitbox takes regular 87
Unfortunately the cheapest I ccould find yesterday was $5.15 per gallon (they limit you to 10 gallons). Most of them around me are $5.50+ with 2 being well over $6 per gallon ($6.19 and $6.29).
Those are for regular, I haven’t even checked premium prices locally.
The Ethanol, Ethanol, Ethanol Hoax!
