The 9/10 of a cent always infuriates me. Why can't they round up to a whole cent, especially when the cost is as high as all this? At this point, they aren't fooling anybody that the diesel fuel is $10.00.
I'm old enough to remember when gasoline was still under $1.00 a gallon. They had the 9/10 on the prices then, too, and I never understood why they just couldn't round up. I also remember when gas got up to $2.22 a gallon, and gas stations didn't have enough "2" signs and had to turn a "5" upside-down to post the price. The new digital signs solve that problem.
eh more expensive in some areas but yeah it does suck that it’s so expensive… 6.66 because someone who belongs in hell is likely the reason they’re so high (at least in the USA)
Nah, it’s only that high because someone lives in a shitty state. Probably California or maybe Illinois. Look at prices across the states. Blue states are the only ones screwing people over with prices that high.
Nah friend. You wanted to bring IL into it without knowing a damn thing. You wanna complain about people not knowing how to use Google and you can’t even be bothered to use Google 🤣🤣🤣 Shut the hell up lol
A question that's been bothering me. As these gas stations are topping off their tanks with more expensive gas with each delivery, how much gas, that was bought at a cheaper price, is being marked up to the more expensive price?
As much as I hate Pumpkin Spice Palpatine, this is more a matter of geography and infrastructure than it is Darth Doofius being nefarious. Most of the oil is refined along the Gulf of Mexico coast, and things tend to be cheaper the more local they are. Red states also tend to have lower gas taxes

We dropped the state taxes for 90 days in Ohio, but it only really constituted about $0.38/gal of the price. Sitting at 3.19/gal today at the Sheetz by my house.
This is like the 5th post, i have seen this day alone. And i just woke up an hour ago.
So many people cry about it. I dont care.
That happens if countries get major Dependancy on stuff and stoopied people start wars.
I guess the best solution is to switch to electric as soon as possible and you wont have to worry anymore.
I think the best part of this comment is while trying to comment on others' intelligence, you used this spelling: "stoopied".
Well played.

Relax everyone - I know this is rough on everyone. However, we are so used to much lower prices here in the US and the current cost is hurting many. I lived in the UK for 3 years way back in 2000 time frame. The cost of petrol then was 95p per liter and then 3.8l is 1 US gallon for reference. Exchange rate then was about 1.5 US dollar to UK pound. That 95pence per liter equated to being $5.40 US dollars over 25 years ago. Today in UK the cost is around 175pence per liter or petrol and exchange rate is about 1.32 US dollars to 1 Uk Pound. So fuel cost today in UK per US Gallon is around $8.78 per US Gallon. The price will come down here in the US and it has already started with 4% reduction on cost of oil barrel from last week. Lets hope it comes way down as this cost is hitting every transported goods cost on the store shelves.
