While wondering how much of this is going straight into Trump's pocket

If its any consolation, Germans would be ecstatic about 5$/gal (equivalent to 1.13€/L), because they're currently paying around twice that.
I have no idea why people keep trying to compare gas between countries. It's such a small part of things.
Heck, I'd pay $10/gal happily for no college tuition costs, national healthcare, and kids not having to do school shooter drills. (Yes yes Germany technically has University fees, but they're like $80 and is more a parking pass than anything)
Also Germany is smaller. Most people aren't driving 60km a day for a work commute. That's a fairly reasonable commute in the US.
Hell I used to commute 130km a day for university. No one would consider that in Germany, but I knew several people from high school making the same commute as me

Did you even suggest carpooling with any of those people?
Part of the reason people outside the US would not spend what, 3 hours and 5?, 6? gallons of gas per day is that US petrol is stupid cheap. If it weren't, you and your high school buddies would have rented a place closer to your school. Seriously: 3 guys each paying $8/gallon for 5 gallons/day 4 days/week? $2000/month is rent. At $3/gallon, $250/month to live with your parents makes sense.
In czech we have 50% of german salary, and our gas is 1.77€/l :)
Literally been paying almost $7/gallon since the pandemic. America is just now feeling a fraction of European/Scandinavian prices since years back and freaking out. 😅
So happy to have switched to electric a year back. Paying between a dime and a quarter per kWh right now and living my life.
"fucking" is fine but "pedophiles" is too explicit not to censor? This trend is so god damn stupid
Probably not about being explicit, but more about not getting your accounts banned from everywhere.
If a site will ban you for either of those words it's not worth using recreationally
"fucking" is f-ne but "pedophiles" is t-o expl-cit not to c-nsor? This tr-nd is so god damn st-pid

*points at the gas tank*
Ayy there's a lotta money in this Tone
I wonder what my butler pays for my gas 🤔
It’s extra funny because Tony Soprano was a Republican
