It is sorta funny watching Americans pay gas prices that many parts of the world actually already paid.
We have poor public transit and on average longer commutes. That makes it hurt the average person a lot more
Don’t forget the absurdly big and fuel-hungry cars.
What’s ironic is that for most of America they’re paying those amounts on top of government subsidies
Germans would still kill for this price. 7.11 USD/gallon is something like 1.60 EUR/liter. We’re currently way above 2 EUR/liter.
Counterpoint - the US is killing for this price. We’ve been at war in the middle east the vast majority of my lifetime, in no small part driven by wanting to control access to and profits from oil.
Damn, if my maths is right it would be 2.59/l aud, my closest station atm is at 1.80/l and hit a high of 2.30/l
For unleaded? Diesel cracked 3 buckeroos in most places
Same here in the UK.
Your mistake was pricing in liters and not gallons ;)

Higher quality version
seems worse to me if anything. unless OP used to be worse and they switched it
Might be getting compressed by Lemmy
Both are perfectly readable to me, Perhaps that other user had some issue that showed him a low-res version. Federation isn’t perfect.
I call BS - I have never seen gas prices (in the US) that don’t end in a “9”.
It’s allowed if all the digits add up to 9.
Gas price gematria
there’s a snopes on it for some reason, was just on the sign to promote the store’s opening
The 7th-11th son of the 7th-11th son.

This prophecy sucks, what else ya got?
When the slow moon passes the lion’s third claw, And the basin of Venus is drained of its tear, The great vessel of men shall split without war, Not by fire, but by silence, shall vanish their fear.
What have you done!? You can’t just speak the deep truths like that!
Oh don’t worry, humans are too stupid to understand what that means anyway. People will just ascribe it to Nostradamus or aliens and then make shit up about what it means.
They could move out of California.
When they were building the station near us this was what they put on the sign until they opened.

The sign says 7 eleven so I am going to gamble on it being there.
Reminded of I Am Legend’s premiere, where $6.87 gas got a nervous laugh from the audience.
And then years later we actually hit that price through normal economic trends, and chuds blamed Biden like it was his fault.
And now those same chuds refuse to blame The Idiot for surpassing that price as unambiguous consequences of his warmongering.
I would have preferred the zombies. Even if they do that late-2000s CGI stretchy jaw thing.
Sweet, is this when the dinosaurs come back to life and get revenge on us for using oil?
Why, did they want it?
Haha! Aha. Ooh, ouch
