According to the RAC it was earlier than 2010. But then I don't get a lifetime of medical debt if I get injured so at least at have that going for us. Currently.

Never really bothered to do the conversions but now I've just realised how cheap gasoline was in the US. The cheapest I remember seeing pump prices in the uk was in late 90s where it was £0.65/L, which would make it around £2.46/gallon and therefore $4.15/gallon given the apparent exchange rate at the time.

FWIW, I learned to drive when it was ~$0.95/gal, and lived in the UK ~'05, so I feel keenly that a fairer comparison might be each region's % of prol take-home avg that's leeched by fuel costs. Is there an acronym for that?

Let's say that these two nations' Unit Price and MPG/KPL avgs are:

• US: $4.32/g | 26 mpg
• UK: £1.59/L | 36 kpl

Also, the nat'l avgs of "median wage worker" incomes are:

• US: $50,153 (£37,276.47)
• UK: £32,236 ($43,369.83)

The fuel cost/yr as % of gross earnings, and minutes-of-work per fill unit would look like:

• US: 2.12% | 7.4 mins/g (1.95/L) up 28% since 2019
• UK: 1.01% | 4.5 mins/L (17.2/g) down 7% since 2019 (income rose 31%)

Now, for some of us, the slice off the year's top is image enough, but that "minutes of work per gallon/liter* punches low. 🤌🏼

If you find yourself with a surplus of joy and need it gone, run your own numbers for minutes per gallon/liter * (2*commute fuel usage) = minutes paid to earn the rest. 😅

How many gallons is a euro, in Fahrenheit?

Just paid $2.03/L CAD here.

So roughly 9.10€ per gallon. ~$10.60

In 25 years, I've not seen anyone write a euro price like that

How many football fields is that?

Damn. They got them prices represented with exponents now. Those must be the Europe prices. /s

With current exchange rates, that's 1.09 € per litre. In Germany we pay 1.90 € per litre ( for the cheap stuff). So in Germany it is ~9.60$ per gallon.

£1.92 a litre for diesel at my local petrol station the last time I went.
A quick currency check says that's 3.54 Canadian dollars.

All because an orange child rapist is trying to distract everyone from all those decades of raping little girls.

i mean, he did have access to the files, and he could have used it to have mango mussolini arrested but instead he handed the keys to the country and the nuclear codes to a man he himself called a fascist. so yes, Joe is indeed responsible for the situation the world is in. just because all republicans support pedophilia doesn't mean Dems don't help them.

Kamala Harris did pledge to start a war with Iran to defend Israel or prevent them from gaining nuclear weapons, and also called trump a pussy for not bombing Iran enough. So we were getting this one no matter what.
