average euro prices of fuels would kill american on contact
Canada is not much better. $1.70 to $2.05 (or more!) a litre. That works out to $4.75+ /gallon
During COVID I was paying about $9 per gallon for gas and right about $10 for diesel. Right now my daughter is paying $9.80 a gallon for diesel.
This was Germany
I'm just impressed you did both conversions.
I think that's a Canadian superpower due to the ungodly mix of imperial and metric units that's going on there.
While it's a significant jump over the last month, the United States and Canada are experiencing about the same price increase proportionally.

Just as the average price in Hong Kong would kill a European on contact.
The price per unit is less shocking than the percentage increase from February to now, which is more or less the same regardless of what continent you're on.
perhaps, but only americans bitch about it so loud that you can hear it across the ocean
Australia is 8.22 usd per gallon for diesel.
I mean yeah lol. I used to drive 80 (~128 km) miles a day to go to university. I would have been broke with European gas prices.
And yes I would have loved to have taken public transit there, but it simply didn't exist
I'm annoyed that we still even have gas. Where is my Solarpunk!?!
I unironicaly contemplated breaking out of a bus and attacking a pipeline with whatever I could find during a trip to a monastery. Main reason I didn't was my family was with me.
So, yeah, I was that close to just doing it.
Imagine my glee when I heard Ukraine was blowing up pipelines, and America refineries.
Perfect...
mehhh we charge our ev and ebikes off solar on our roof.
Alas we're Australian and our rail is 18th century and mostly closed down, rather then prolific and electrified because... well, we're fucking idiots.
Americans don't learn metric precisely to not understand European fuel prices.
"What's a leetur?"
"How much is a You-Row?"
