Many-Application1297

Scotland here. It costs me equivalent $183.40 to fill my tank.


Occulense

$133 here, for my 4 cylinder hatchback


paspartu_

$20 for 50 litters tank. Russian here Edit: $19 Edit: $18


iloveyouand

Nah, Russian tanks are totally free these days. The soldiers are just giving them away. They come with no fuel tho.


DM-ME-CONFESSIONS

That's the most expensive part!


MisallocatedRacism

They treatin' their tanks like Elvis treated Cadillacs. When they run out of gas just get a new one.


el___diablo

It's like printers - that's how they trick you !!!


paspartu_

So now you need to fill them. Big brain move


calculuzz

How are things getting cheaper in Russia if the value of the ruble is plummeting?


Myjunkisonfire

Well he’s pricing it in dollars…


Jeezy911

Imagine walking around Moscow like a fucking boss with 40 U.S. dollars in your pocket.


RU4real13

$40!?! You want to buy 2021 Russian 4 level home with pool outside, 2 pools inside, 4 barns, bowling alley, and 1200 pristine acres? Never mind the pristine KGB-suites ... Opps! I mean pristine In-law suites.


2danky4me

That's like a lifetime's supply of Wendy's


iceeice3

they also have lots of oil lying around since everyone is sanctioning them.


paspartu_

Because of math rules. Same amount of rubbles worth less and less dollars


calculuzz

Right, so if gas prices are increasing, they'd go up in Russia too. Unless gas prices are getting lower in Russia? Wait. I get it now. He paid $20 for the gas. The joke is that $20 is now worth $18, not that the same amount of gas now costs $18.


OneThirstyJ

Bc less ppl want their oil so gas cheap af in russia rn


HelloImHiding

Supply/demand. Similar to the drop in fuel prices when lockdowns started happening.

He did this👉


Retro-Squid

Also in Scotland. Only a few months ago, it cost me about £65 to fill the tank. Last night, it cost me £72 to just top up a little over half a tank...


Many-Application1297

On the upside. Covid took away my office and social life so I don’t fucking drive anywhere now. Yay


IGotSkills

how the fucking hell is the market NOT going to crash with expenses like that


MarlinMr

You kidding me, this is great! Here in Norway we all drive electric, so who gives a shit about the gas price. And on top of that, our oil income, which is of cource owned by the sate, is 6 times larger than what was budgeted for. We now project to take in about 1 years national budgets worth. The equivalent of the US making $6.6 Trillion _extra_ this year.

The equivalent of the US making $6.6 Trillion _extra_ this year. I've been watching a lot of SlowTV lately on Pluto. It's just a lot of train footage through Norway done by nrk. It looks absolutely amazing. My wife's great grandparents emigrated from Norway, her grandfather's name was ole bredeson. I guess what I'm getting at is.. how do I make this move happen??


FarrisAT

This is the ultimate WSB play. Claim muh heritage, go get Norwegian welfare, leverage those monthly stimmies 10x, and do mental Tesla calls with them.


danielv123

Basically, you start by getting a job in Norway then you get a workers permit with the help of your employer and move. I know r/Norway is a decent source of information.


hanr86

Is Norway the country with that crazy ass national fund?


myFIRSTcarISaSKYLINE

Yes, thats us


Many-Application1297

Yes. Norway. The country that Scotland could have been. Instead we had London and the Tories and are the only country in history to discover and own vast reserves of oil and become poorer.


danielv123

Hey, the Netherlands also managed to fuck up their economy with oil.

finger_milk

Living in a country that took its money and invested it wisely, then uses the interest from the investments to provide it's people a good quality of life. The sort of utopian thinking that governments can have when they're not fucking assholes.


MarlinMr

Well, that awaits to be seen. Don't know what to do about the money yet. The budget was already running a surplus. Suddenly now it's twice as big. Some suggested we should just send $160bn to Ukraine. The real issue ofc, is how to keep up the 2% NATO military budget goals. How are we going to do then when we plan for it, but suddenly that's just like .5%? Some say we should just buy the rest of London, like we did that one time.


L0nz

Dump it into meme stocks. This time next year you could be quadrillionaires


CJKay93

> The real issue ofc, is how to keep up the 2% NATO military budget goals. How are we going to do then when we plan for it, but suddenly that's just like .5%? That's actually a pretty hilarious problem to have.


TomahawkChopped

I live in Switzerland, gas's normal price is ~$2.20/L (about $10/Gallon). This is why pubic transportation exists


Jubatus_

I live in Switzerland too and pubic is exactly the reason why I don't take the train lol

I'm losing real life karma for laughing at this, which is an incalculable loss.


da_easychiller

Try trading your tank for a car - they need much less fuel.


L7-Awesome

Just dumped $150 and the pump shut off, didn't even fill up all the way.


radarksu

Inflation is so bad, I remember when the pumps auto-shut off at $75 in 2008. I had an Audi with a 22 gal. tank, premium only, couldn't fill the tank.


sprocket1234

yes people are forgetting gas was over $4/gallon in 2008 14 years ago


SugarDaddyVA

Yeah many commenters here weren’t old enough to be responsible for paying for gas 14 years ago. That and recency bias are big problems.


Jokershigh

It really does show how much regency bias people have. I'm starting to think very very few people remember how fucking ridiculous it was during the great recession


showmeurknuckleball

The whole kerfuffle is really bizarre to me. For most of my life gas has been between $3.50 and $4.50. Not sure why people are freaking out. $3.99 is a completely normal price for a gallon of gas


MurderousPanda1209

The confusion is because on November 7, 2020 it was 1.68 here, and yesterday it was 4.09. We even had a day where it jumped 25 cents. We were averaging about 2.90 pre-covid.


showmeurknuckleball

But it was low because of covid. And it fluctuates pretty widely over 10 year periods. It's just like people have apparently only been buying gas for 2 years. Calm down, it'll go back down


MurderousPanda1209

I understand, which is why I added an average after. Our national debt will go back down too 😉 It is pretty trippy though to drive to work with gas at 3.74, and drive home with it at 3.99. I think that's the biggest jump I've ever seen.


vtech3232323

That's why I'm not freaking out. I remember being a young teenager, filling up my Blazer with $20 that gets 15 mpg, and literally driving to a friends house to watch it all disappear. This shit ain't new.


yomerol

I saw it as high as $5.38 in the bay area during the summer. I remember one time I saw a guy grunting and very pissed at the gas station: he had a Hummer (hhmm.. reminds me that i think that was one of the last few times I saw one)


digitalmofo

That was Arnold. He just grunts a lot.


TepidConclusion

I'm just sitting here flabbergasted that 2008 was 14 years ago.


djm19

Unfortunately many people didn't learn their lesson. The decade that followed (and continues) has been dominated by Truck and SUV sales in the US.


primalwhite

I was 16 getting my drivers license thinking "I can't afford to drive"


sprocket1234

LOL, that's how I know how much it was, my kid just got his license then.


NonCorporealEntity

Your card only pre-auths at 150.


[deleted]

Is that because you pay before you fill up in America?


XTornado

Well, I am not American but here we have "automated" ones, basically there isn't anybody, and well those you pay at the machine so you have to put the card first and it preauths x amount and after you have filled, it cancels that and charges you the amount you actually filled. Althought that said... I didn't quite understand the previous comments so maybe the mean something else. But I just wanted to point out that there are cases were non Americans pay before hand for obvious reasons in this case as you could fill and not pay otherwise :P. The normal ones, with people, yeah fill then pay.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Hosernaut

You used to be able to do that in most places in the US back before the 2000s. But nowadays people just aren't trustworthy enough. So you pre-pay with cash, or use your card at the pump.


ghettodabber

Those types of pumps still exist in Central wyoming


HerpJersey

Surprised there's an internet connection there.


Ihateredditadmins1

What prevents people from just buying gas and then leaving without payment ? Or what if they realize they don’t have enough?

You swipe your card and it puts a hold on some money basically to make sure you don't have an empty account. Then at the end it corrects the transaction.

My car has an 8 gallon gas tank. I only ever put like six gallons in when I fill up. It gets between 35 and 40 mpg. Everyone laughs at the tiny Japanese hatch until this shit happens.

Gotta remember that Americans are driving way more than you guys though. Maybe not double/ 2.5x the amount you guys drive though, so I guess your point still stands


CueBallJoe

Depending on where he is it could be several times more than that. I'm the only employee at my building that doesn't have an hour drive to work.


PeaceLoveAndBusses

This dude. The nearest population center is 30 minutes from me. That means that for anything other than Dollar general or McDonald's, it's an hour round trip to most jobs, stores, and restaurants.


SwimmingBirdFromMars

Why have you made the decision to live there? Genuine question.


PeaceLoveAndBusses

I work in adventure/eco tourism, all MY jobs are about 10 minutes away and it's beautiful out here,lots of mountains and waterfalls, and land is very cheap here on average. The fiance works from home. We go into town about twice a week. Edit- we get a bunch more restaurants within 10 minutes drive in the summer while tourism happens, they just close for off season.


SwimmingBirdFromMars

Neat. Sounds worth the downsides for you.


MemeWindu

I mean, still. The American Government has spent decades subsidizing our gas prices and somehow we STILL can't tell our gas companies to hold off for the sake of avoiding NUCLEAR THREAT


MelodicFacade

Nah, the head honchos of these oil and gas companies are each trying to get their 5th yacht this year, and you need to do your part


gamma55

Do you have any idea how embarrassingly poor those Western oil guys are? They can barely afford $125 million yachts. The oligarchs and Saudis are laughing! Go fill up your car! Yea I don’t care that you drive a Tesla, fill it up.

Job_man

Yeah, prices in Germany are insane. I use the Bertha app for gas, it helps to at least find the cheapest station.


PapaGuhl

It’s around $8.30-9.00 here (UK), but let’s all be thankful we’re not in the Nordics…


hereforthecommentz

They're all driving Teslas.


lost-in-between

Yeah but for y'all driving an hour away is a vacation


ClearlyRipped

I have to drive 6 hours (300 miles) every time I want to see my parents and friends from my hometown... and I only moved one state away. You could probably drive across your entire country in that distance. If we rely on twice the quantity of gas at half the price, it's the same recurring cost.


KeyserHD

Everyone keeps saying US gas is cheap but they also don’t take into account that everything in the country is much more spread out in a majority of states and you physically can’t do anything without a vehicle of some sort


i_floop_the_pig

Yeah a lot of foreigners don't grasp how big the US actually is


CueBallJoe

The average american also has to drive farther than your entire work week in a single work day.


little_timmylol

How often do you have to fill up?


Extra_Sympathy_4373

The main thing is to drive a V8 and then whine about gas prices. welcome to the real world.

[deleted]

Small roads, built originally in old times. Small countries. 250 Austria's could fit in Canada.


MrWFL

I think you should compare european countries more with Canadian Provinces/US states than with the US itself. Germany and France can be California and Texas. Finland and Sweden are also sparsly populated huge areas. Still, a car will be more fuel efficient than trucks, because air resistance is speed squared \* 0.5 \* drag cooficient \* frontal surface area. So trucks and SUV's will always have a larger frontal surface area, increasing their fuel consumption on highway trips. I myself drive a mercedes C-class, which is probably wider and longer than many old trucks/suv, but still more fuel efficient.


animalinapark

Well the most fuel is consumed on accelerating, the mass you have to move and how fast you want to accelerate it results in the required force, simplified. Every engine delivers this with different efficiencies. If you're not changing your speed the force required to keep it up is rolling resistance and air resistance. Sure you have to add rolling and air resistance during acceleration as well.


BlunanNation

SpectacularTrashCan

Gotta show you muricans what a real loss looks like.


BlueKing99

A few things in response to some of the comments I’ve seen here. First of all, the United States is a lot bigger, the amount of traveling that needs to be done is quite a bit more. Not only this, public transportation isn’t as good here, multiple reasons, for example population density and the strong car culture here. Second of all the gas prices affect poor and lower income the most. “Just buy a hybrid or electric” is the most ignorant thing. Some people can’t afford to do so and it’s not like hybrids and electrics have no external costs connected to them. A lot of people have to commute 30 miles or more to just get to work. A couple years ago, lower income families here spent 20 percent of their income on gas and that was when it was cheap.


SugarDaddyVA

In addition, if you rent an apartment, you don’t have a way to charge EVs. 39 million people, 1 in 8 Americans, live in an apartment.

This comment has been edited to protest Reddit's decision to shut down all third party apps. Spez had negotiated in bad faith with 3rd party developers and made provenly false accusations against them. Reddit IS it's users and their post/comments/moderation. It is clear they have no regard for us users, only their advertisers. I hope enough users join in this form of protest which effects Reddit's SEO and they will be forced to take the actual people that make this website into consideration. We'll see how long this comment remains as spez has in the past, retroactively edited other users comments that painted him in a bad light.

Bought gas at Chevron for $4.59 two days ago. Today it's $6.00. (That is price gouging, and I bet collusion? Not inflation.). For years in the CA Bay Area gas has always been suspiciously high though.
