am sorry, but $4/gallon in 2026 is a fucking joke. back in the 1990s, gas was $7/g̶a̶l̶l̶o̶n̶ litre in many european countries.

petrol should be $20 a gallon if not more because USians should have changed the way they develop suburbs.

USA DOESN’T NEED CARS, it needs walkable towns with stores, hospitals, schools, post offices, grocery stores.

i hate USA suburbs because they are literally food, health care and education deserts.

KILL THE USA SUBURB,
SAVE THE WORLD.

@blogdiva " gas was $7/g̶a̶l̶l̶o̶n̶ litre"... Gas it's barely $2.50 per liter in 2026. In the ‘90s, it was under $1 per liter in Europe FYI
@letscallhimsteve not in Italy and Spain. diesel and whatever the one y’all mix with ethanol was cheaper but not 100% petrol like it’s sold in the USA. was shocked when visiting friends out there. they had to hack their cars to run the cheaper stuff.
@blogdiva $7 a litre is unheard of, not now, not in the '90s. Current prices are around €2 a litre. In the ‘90s, the price in Italy (for example) was below L.1000 a litre, that is the equivalent of €0.45.
I'm referring to "100% petrol like it's sold in the USA", whatever that means.🙄
@letscallhimsteve
I agree, and I'm from Denmark. We always had comparatively high petrol prices. In the 90s they probably came to around $1/liter.
@blogdiva
@notsoloud @blogdiva Yes, $1 is acceptable, but $7 would have been too much. People would have been out in the streets, smashing heads.
