Now you know why gasoline is sold by the liter in Europe: you can multiply the price another 3.5x.

$10 / gal is quite typical in Europe.

Welcome to the reality of fossil fuel scarcity and the consequences of stupid wars. It's high time Americans felt what happens when they do stupid shit in a world of dwindling cheap energy resources.

This is because DEMOCRATS!

-Republican Voters UNIRONICALLY!

It's inevitable. Obviously this is caused by a political disruption, but oil is a finite resource. People are eventually going to be economically forced to switch to electric, and putting it off for ethnocentrism reasons is just poor policy.

Dad was complaining about California having high gas prices and not criticizing the policies that have led to this or the person he voted for causing this

Don't worry, they'll fix the machines soon, and they will be able to go above 10. All is well.

I worked in a gas station in Canada back in 2001 when the price of a liter first broke $1.00. We had to physically stick a 1 up on the electronic sign.

As a comparison: The cheapest diesel available in Finland right now on September the 14th is 2.222 € per litre. That translates to 9.71 USD per gallon. The most expensive available today is 2.611 €/l, translating to 11.41 $/gallon

Now you can change to selling by litres

Just charge per liter.

I had a Car Crisis back in '04 and the only car on the market I could afford was a beat up 86 Suburban that couldn't have gotten more than 12mpg.

I think gas was hovering around $2.50 a gallon at that time and shit was dire, I can only imagine how rough it is for the poor souls nowadays that Need A Truck.

They'll append the sign with a tiny 9/10ths of $10 sticker and roll the display back over to $ 1.10. (Forgive me if my math is off, I'm a dreamer, not a do-er)

Well, it's just starting. We didn't see it earlier because it was the weekend.

Is it just the big signs that can't understand $10+ print (fixed with some cardboard), or are the pump programming incapable of calculating higher price? Y2k 2.0

excellent news, I also see Calvin's dads wish has come true.

I did and 5 years ago, I purchased an EV as a precaution.

If anyone is counting on the O&G crew to give you a break, I've got an orphan well to sell you.

I thought we were having it rough at 2.20 a liter.

LOOK WHAT YOU MADE US DO! Now we have to buy displays with more digits? That's going to mean higher gas prices for you. You just don't learn, do you?
