Dear england, greetings and here is my latest report from america, everybody is very angry right now because their petrol has jumped up to their equivalent of 79p a litre which is the most it's been by quite a lot

🐰 Holy shit Dan so petrol is basically free there, I bet nobody ever worries about not affording filling up their tank huh,

🦝 25 miles per gallon is pretty normal here

🐰 oh

🦝 because of decades of basically-free petrol

🐰 oh.

@ifixcoinops just fyi (on the off chance that you (or someone else reading this thread) don't know), the gallons in the US (3.79 l) are smaller than the ones in the UK (4.54 l).
And fuel prices are listed without taxes. So prices *are* much cheaper in the US, but they sound *even cheaper* than they are.

@hattom yeah I took that into account, it comes out to 79p a litre where I am like I said, if you wanna do the maths yourself feel free

@ifixcoinops glad to hear it.
I wasn't trying to suggest that you had it wrong, just wanted to make sure that you were aware.

@hattom do you do that a lot? Making sure people are aware of things? Is that like a hobby?

@ifixcoinops Not really. I'm sorry -- I really wasn't sure if it would come across well or poorly.
I knew it was a risk, and I hoped I had judged the tone accordingly. Mea culpa if not appreciated.
