    If only conservatives weren’t so focused on the economy the economy would be doing better. :(

    I think this is all a conspiracy to make the price of a foot long seem cheaper. Big sandwich with the full support of Subway is manipulating the U.S. into performing atrocious acts to drive up fuel prices. Thus when you see the cost of a sub, you’ll be like huh… That’s actually not that terrible. /s

    Diesel is over $7/gal, it’s fucking wild out here.

    I got a big pay bump last October and I felt like for the first time since the 00’s I was finally out of the “just getting by” pay curve for Bay Area California and then this Iran war shit happens and now everything including gas is more expensive, clawing back all the gains I’ve made.

    At least there’s a chance things might go back to normal if this shit ever ends, but I expect that prices are going to stay high long after the justification for raising them vanishes, just like with inflation.

      I left California 35 years ago and never looked back. The prices were too high then, and have gotten exponentially worse since. The people are all fake and full of themselves.

    Diesel in Denmark is 11.2 USD/gallon … but do keep complaining about your luxuriously low gas prices, which BTW was caused by the POTUS too many Americans couldn’t be bothered to vote against.

      In Canada where I live, diesel is 9.2 USD/G converted, but can reach much higher (10.5$+) in other regions on Canada.

      It’s normal with independently-owned fuel stations. Not so much with corporate chains.

      It fell off for awhile but came around during COVID. It used to account for card back in the day, now AI think gas stations are just running shit under the table.

        I rarely see it in Canada. I’ve only seen it at farmers markets. I did a quick search and apparently it is fully legal, just uncommon. As long as you either advertise the highest cost or clearly explain the different cost levels (like in the OP) it’s fine apparently. The more you know.

          Oh yeah you see it a good bit in other cases. Usually just a flat 25 cent additional charge for card, it’s just gas that I think is cooking the books in particular.

    I saw $6.79 a gallon for regular being advertised on a sign by the highway.

    I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. Thank God for Costco.

    $5.10 a gallon for premium and 5% cash back because I have their credit card.

    Be glad. Here fuel costs around 8-9 dollars equivalent for the same amount, thanks to your senile president.

    A little unfair since Chevron is often 50 cents to a dollar more, but it’s still pretty bad. 5.60 a gallon at the cheapest. We still tax our gas though.
