I love all the comments stating “oh that’s still cheap.”

Lil bro, I probably drive more in a month just for the menial shit I need to do than you do in a year, and I work from home.

We don’t even fucking have sidewalks where I live.

Bro I live in the Netherlands one of the densest countries in the world, with great pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure and good public transportation. The average work commute here is still 40km per day that’s 200km a week so 120 miles per week. And the majority of people use the car to commute. Gas is €2.34/L and Diesel is €2.58/L that’s €8.84/gallon or $10.2/gallon for petrol and €9.57/gallon or $11/gallon

So people all over the world are screwed even if they travel less. And even if you don’t use a car guess what will happen to food prices when diesel is as expensive as it is now.
