I’m annoyed that we still even have gas. Where is my Solarpunk!?!
I unironicaly contemplated breaking out of a bus and attacking a pipeline with whatever I could find during a trip to a monastery. Main reason I didn’t was my family was with me.
So, yeah, I was that close to just doing it.
Imagine my glee when I heard Ukraine was blowing up pipelines, and America refineries.
Just as the average price in Hong Kong would kill a European on contact.
The price per unit is less shocking than the percentage increase from February to now, which is more or less the same regardless of what continent you’re on.
That’s over 1h of driving, even without traffic, each way. Are you mental?
Even with mass transit here, you don’t do that commute every day for several years - you rent a room closer to the uni, and go back home only during weekends.
Edit: sorry I just realised you said that’s total per day. Still might be cheaper to rent…
Not mental just poor. Stayed at home and went to the local uni because it was affordable.
It was 1hr each way, but about 80 miles total. There was never really much traffic at least.
I drove a fuel efficient car so this was definitely cheaper than renting plus utilities. Probably costed about $60 a week in gas. $240 was not enough to get a room, rooms went for about $400. Even then I’d still have to drive from the room to campus
average euro prices of fuels would kill american on contact
Americans from the USA.

Perfect…
I’ve been seeing the news for weeks now, but only last week did I actually check what EUR/l those values were and I nearly died laughing…
Canada is not much better. $1.70 to $2.05 (or more!) a litre. That works out to $4.75+ /gallon
I Germany it’s 2,10€/l or 11USD/gallon right now

During COVID I was paying about $9 per gallon for gas and right about $10 for diesel. Right now my daughter is paying $9.80 a gallon for diesel.
This was Germany
I’m just impressed you did both conversions.
I think that’s a Canadian superpower due to the ungodly mix of imperial and metric units that’s going on there.
Maybe that’s why they’re always apologizing, feeling guilty due to their relationship with units!
While it’s a significant jump over the last month, the United States and Canada are experiencing about the same price increase proportionally.

Americans don’t learn metric precisely to not understand European fuel prices.
“What’s a leetur?”
“How much is a You-Row?”
Why row when you can use an outboard motor

perhaps, but only americans bitch about it so loud that you can hear it across the ocean
I mean yeah lol. I used to drive 80 (~128 km) miles a day to go to university. I would have been broke with European gas prices.
And yes I would have loved to have taken public transit there, but it simply didn’t exist
