The first servo I stopped at had run out of diesel. A tank normally costs me $100 less.

I was originally confused, because you pay in $ but quantity is in Liters! But then noticed the community is Australia.

I can tell you that the price here in northern Europe is 4,15 Australian $ pr liter... That would have been just about $300 for your tankful 🤦

Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong, Jamaica, Liberia, Namibia, and Taiwan all use dollars that aren't USD.

Which is one reason why I've taken to referring to currency with nation included, e.g. US$, AU$, JP¥, GB£.. The Euro is the only easy standard, arguably the 'English language' of currency

D instead of $ is the usual nomenclature. Eg: CAD, AUD, USD. Like wise GBP, JPY.

The Euro is....very famously not English. I think you mean "western"?

Which is fair in most contexts, but when you're in an Australian community, it's safe to assume that AUD is the default.

Oh yeah, situational awareness comes first, something that doesn't seem to come naturally to everyone. There's a mild need for c/LostLemmings
