IT'S NUMBERS ALL THE WAY DOWN. this conspiracy infests every part of Society

I see those gas billboards everywhere too. I fast forward through TV ads.

$6.50 for diesel in STL, MO, this morning, where gas is usually under the national average.

That would be low for my area (Central Valley, California) When I go out into rural areas for appraisal work, minimum gasoline seven bucks. And it's been like that for months

The "cheap"gas station near me is now at 6 bucks. Even a week ago it was between 5.40 and 5.50.

filling my 18-wheeler up with diesel-grade chart

reminds me that I really should stop letting my gas go below 50% in case there is a terrifying system shock and I simply can't get any when very low.

only the lower one, cause it's green, which is a good color

Really sums up Manhattan pricing for anything

it should be this price always and when it gets cheaper the tax should adjust to stabilize it

Unironically yes. This is how you get demand destruction, and demand destruction is how we don't all die because of climate change.

yes

It's*

hahahahaha I posted this earlier today 🥲 (Nor Cal) bsky.app/profile/sesi...

A lifted truck rolled coal on me today so… maybe?

Diesel on I-5

Makes me glad that I commute by some combination of bikeshare and train for most of my gigs.

Where is this?

This was a month ago in middle of nowhere, CA!

Man of Steel (2004)

Those look a bit like the prices in French Francs before the advent of the Euro.

Honestly yes but it's a bitter medicine.

I blame the rainbow umbrella

One is green, I think that means its good

I see '69' , but the number before it makes it Not Nice.

Nope (taken yesterday in San Francisco)

WHADDYA WANT A NUCLEAR IRAN!!?

It does make the V-Power gasoline seem more attractive. I mean. what's an additional 50 cents a gallon? Do I know what V-Power is? No, but might as well get it, amirite?

I'm driving a 2018 Honda Clarity, I can only assume the tech has now gotten even better. Mine has a 50 mile all-electric range and I have free charging stations at the local park so...

*Savage Canadian nodding* Micah it is good as hell

Well it's the 9/10s that really get you.

youtu.be/dxTNqYAWISs?...

Oops - no, we still have higher prices. I plead fatigue for the error.

📈 stonks

I regret to tell you that this is not that one gas station with ridiculously high prices, this is what it is here

I saw $7 supreme/9.49 diesel in Pasadena today though

Well, that’s the Woke Station

already seen $9.79/gal in CA $90 to fill the tank of our VW Golf

What's going on in the midwest is a large refinery in Illinois is down which reduced supply and increased transport costs to deliver fuel over longer distances.

Probably a fruit stand.

This is roughly on track for my area of California. I think Diesel is closer to $9 though

And the banner for the Getty. And it matches the prices at the gas station in my L.A. neighborhood.

I'm just playing. Adding at to the end of sentence used to drive my mom crazy.

A loaf of bread is going to cost 8 dollars by December.

dang California

I mean, it's probably good for EV adoption.

I buy mid when it's available b/c it's just a 89/93 mix so you get some premium by accident; when I do, I know I am betraying my only reliable long-distance vehicle

I feel like that's a given. But they're social things rather than economic 😁 (Note in case anyone else wants to weigh in with "well actually": just because the UK government aren't senile with dementia doesn't mean that we have perfect politics. They're still pandering to bigotry and media hype)

There's a rainbow umbrella next to the sign. You know whose fault that's going to make it when Fox et al get onto this....

This is still as high as I’ve ever seen it. Also the Sharon park shell is all in the 7’s, another criminally priced locale.

Can’t really call it an October surprise when it was set in motion in February.

I say we get him

Missing a $6.66⁹⁄₁₀ price, alas

What is even the point of the 9/10 at the end of the price? Are people even going to notice 9/10ths of a cent?

juesus christ. and i thought the $4.42 around here was bad

Cheapest .fi gas prices as of today are ~9.14 dollars per gallon (converted from euros per litre) so it's not that bad, really.

I mean, I'm feeling pretty good about being able to commute by bicycle, but that's probably not feasible for most USians due to land use policies, etc.

More dollars = more good It's simple economics

Yes. You should all be driving electric vehicles already.

I think it’ll be pretty funny that the gas price increases will be the thing that tips the US over to use the metric system. Wait - is this mathing right? CDN $3.21/litre? The web says it’s ~2.60/litre in Ottawa CAN

(Just checked: diesel is about £2 now, which is $2.66, which is like $10.30/USgal).

Cost me $65 to fill up here in Wisconsin yesterday and let me tell you the vibes at the Kwik Trip are ANGRY.

I'd say it was good for climate change if I didn't see the black rain over Tehran, and realize that's been happening all over Russia and the middle east.

I dunno where you are, but that’s cheap compared to the gas here (and yes, I’m in the US).

Historic presidency, really, forcing some stations to figure how to display diesel prices higher than $9.99

Tell them to lower the diesel price to $8.647

It’s sunny. That’s nice.

Given how the state of our economy is way too dependent on oil and gas prices, obviously no.

lol fuck me

How long before they have a Nadia Comaneci moment and start painting a "1" before the display? Two weeks?

Once there is an Uber fuel surcharge, wine moms will riot

Depends for Trump! SATSQ

*started an unnecessary war because of gender anxiety Man I was a fool for majoring in math, gender studies has way more applications

They're paying for billboards against themselves

It's not that the propaganda industrial complex doesn't work. It absolutely works. They get like a thirty point advantage. It is just that they also govern so impossibly badly that they erode even that. The worst is they can make Americans believe it is our fault for not fixing their mess faster.

Ugh Gabe Evans has been running all kinds of ads about "the progressive war on energy" and I'm like you guys started a literal war that's spiking oil prices, ffs. 🤦‍♀️

If you tell people that everything is great when everything is in fact not great, individuals will think they, personally, are being screwed over and vote accordingly.

Let's see what we can get done after a D+20 result!

You won't find opposition here, I've advocated on here for Marcy Kaptur to be censored and ejected from the caucus and made a point of supporting some of the best trans allies running for Congress. I've called for these rotten consultants pushing the bigotry to be fired, I'd love to hear some names.

no. transphobes are genuinely hateful individuals. Not everything is a distraction, conservatives are rancid bigots in many ways transphobia existed long, long before Joe Biden was President. it existed as a GOP legislative priority before then too! the difference is how it's leaked to some Dems

How much diesel do we get from Russia?

It’s a good thing every single Republican spent the past several years bragging about how much they love the Trump agenda

All GOP advertising is undercut by Trump's daily televised ramblings about his ballroom and arch, essentially addressing voters' number one issue with "I don't give a shit".

We have absolutely passed a ton of scary cyberpunk dystopian landmarks. Things that are just... going on now ( I refuse to call them normal)

A while ago a young gas station attendant was flirting with me - until I told him I already had my driver's license when our (German) politicians swore gas would never cost as much as a Euro per liter. (Currently 2.40.) He did not even remember that time. I'm older than I look in gas station light.

Even a quarter of a century ago video game graphics sometimes had their moments! :)

You think gas is bad some prick at the Lucky Money wants 15 for a beer 🤬

It's all in the numbers

One of @greatdismal.bsky.social’s books, I think in the bridge trilogy, has a character comment on a cheeseburger being 100 billion dollars.

my husband is morphing into Calvin's dad including looks and becoming an adult means I'm here for it
