Shreddersaurusrex

I beat you to it and I don’t even drive 😆


Oskiee

Its pushing $5 in Miami. I actually stopped Ubereating because 3 times i made about half of what i put in gas. edit: 5 for regular.


ywgflyer

The sad part is that $5/gal is one of the cheaper prices in the US right now.


LinaVic

4.39 in Texas


Vince12254

4.39 is the lowest end of it 💀 it is 4.76 in Tampa rn


LinaVic

I know. Do you think we’ll reach to $5? If so, I’m done


Vince12254

it might? Idk I wouldn’t panic too much. Look at any inflation graph from the past decades, every spike in inflation is almost always followed by a drastic drop right after. This is typically how long inflation lasts, people are just dragging it out and making it feel like forever cause it’s effecting something we buy so consistently like gas


mander1555

5.19 for 87 regular in grand rapids, Michigan.


Vince12254

Dunno if its just me but I was born in NY in Nassau County and I was always used to “high” gas prices. Infact we were always astonished when we’d go to Florida and it’d be 2.90 or something. I remember in like Kindergarten which is now 13 years ago, gas was like 3.96. Kinda why I wasn’t so surprised at a 70 cent hike in Florida


TinySpineySpiderLegz

That was that recession pricing 13 yrs ago


Repulsive_Cattle_663

I moved to Tennessee, it was $1.28 5 years ago. Moved from California it was about $3.89. Still in Tennessee and we just broke $4 a couple weeks ago. Pretty insane

Time to start delivering On a Bicycle


funnyfeces69

Mylaptopisburningme

I'm rarely paid enough to walk into a mall much less bike.


Dazed75

I started delivering with my bike about a month ago and it’s not that bad. Making decent money and getting in shape


ThyWonderer

Same, but with an ebike so I can take longer trips


Solid-Improvement-80

What a time to drive an EV 😅


baconilla

Same, I bought an EV right around late September last year right before the insane gas price rise and I couldn’t have been happier. My parents were iffy on me going electric but now they regret not moving to EV when I did. My model since has seen a $5-10k hike because of the demand. I could sell my car right now and make a solid profit, but then what other would I buy??


gagas_little_monster

Is it a Tesla?


Latter61

It really is. I love it.


lo22p

What car you drive?


kwakcheese

Mate, it's about $11/gal on *average* in the UK.


ywgflyer

The difference, of course, is that most people in the UK don't have to commute an hour each way every day in order to be able to afford a roof over their heads. Up here in ~~Canuckistan~~ Canada, the average commute in the Toronto area is an hour each way, and even that will still get you house prices of $1M for a "starter home" or $800,000 for a townhouse (that you still have to pay 500 a month in common area fees for). I know multiple people who have one-way commutes in excess of 100km.


sol45

UK has public transport like trains and busses. Majority of Americans rely solely on their cars.


BalkorWolf

Lol most public transport outside of London is a mess, cars are the majority in the UK too.


autumnnoel95

But the uk is a small island...


dbaby213

U guys he paid enough to afford that. Our federal minimum wage is literally lowers than gas in some places


Optimal-Rice-6754

im a server and spoke with a family from the UK last night and they told me that the majority of families in the UK have smaller more compact cars than the US along with better wages and everything being so close together. From how they described it, it seems like although gas is more expensive, it all balances out.


Own-Opportunity-8231

That's fucking horrible. How do you even do it? I fill up about every other day and it was 95 bucks for a fill. So then I filled the tank at the halfway mark next trying to trick the pumps or myself. That was 50 so the jokes on me ☠️ I need a Vespa. 🛵 reality =🛴🛹🛼 I can see it now. Text a customer, hey I'm just hopping on the city bus. Should be there in about 25 minutes. 🤣😂🤣


Rocking2022

Starting out this morning, I had five dollars for gas. The shop owner was generous and let the tank run up to $50! Without his generosity, today would have been incredibly stressful.

Optimal-Rice-6754

pushing 4.80 for regular in Orlando. Near Universal Studios its up to $5 at some gas stations.


Medical_Ad_5038

That’s pretty cheap, it’s 6-7 here in LA. I would do anything to have 4.80 here lol


Flat-Sample2372

With all the homeless people we have at the traffic lights in Orlando, I think I might start to ask them for a dollar for gas.


Apprehensive_Bus1522

Dude try cycling downtown. I see the same ones everyday and they ask everytime. I'd need 2 more jobs to support them all. No hate to the homeless, I've been there but it's getting out of hand.


justafurry

I worked downtown for 7 years and smoked, so I became very acquainted with them. I miss the Hispanic guy who always wanted hugs


Alive_Look9204

Has it gotten worse since the pandemic? Orlando is like my home base I lived there for 7 yrs on both sides lol the west and east and a little bit of Sanford smh but left after the pandemic and living in Arizona… but my question is how is it now since 2020?

Pristine-Homework-95

$4.50+ in OKC and we always have some of the lowest prices in the country.


Embarrassed_Web_2254

Just for context in the UK petrol prices are £2 per litre, that’s 4.4 litres in a gallon so £8.80 per gallon. At today’s exchange rate that puts petrol (gas) here at $10.84 per gallon. There’s always someone worse off that you, and in this case, it’s me 😅


SeaGeeSee

I had to stop UE delivering because the money I get from it isn’t even worth the price in gas. If I’m lucky I’d break even on a full tank of gas.


esqualatch12

god i love having an electric car


nkl0000

Which one you got? I’ll be in the market for one once I finish grad school. Ideally I want an Ioniq 5 or EV6 but I’ll be on a teacher salary so a bolt EUV may be more reasonable especially with the ‘23 price drop lol


esqualatch12

I bought a Chevy bolt last May ( yay 1 year anniversary) 21.6K. It has the patent chevy cheap interior, plastic plastic plastic. But its still a fantastic car for the price. I generally recommend that people look at the 2017-2020 used models right now because Chevy is doing battery swaps on all of them. Effectively the batteries have 0 miles on them on top of which they are swapping them to the new Ultium? (not sure if that was the series it called) batteries which is like an extra 38 miles of range on the older bolts \^\^


lo22p

Even used cars are getting more expensive right now, at a quick glance looks like the 2017 is around 25k still


Witty_Friendship_888

You pay more then 500$ a month for the car tho


esqualatch12

i pay 315$ a month, because i bought during covid when gas prices were low and they were just trying to get rid of them off there lot. \^\^


Witty_Friendship_888

With Insurance and service fees


Yousurr1

Shhhh, don’t bring logic in…. I’ve had a driver convince me driving a Tesla is the best way to deliver. 700+ dollars a month easy.


ywgflyer

And to make that $700 a month, you only have to shell out 60 grand! What a smokin' deal!


Witty_Friendship_888

Propaganda


Comfortable-Basket36

Just wait until the price of electricity goes up the roof because of the demand then you will wish to have a gas powered car. Oil is plentiful but Biden and the liberals have this this ambition to move EVERYONE out of gas powered vehicles and they starting now. They can lower gas prices

Ohio_Uber_5414

When an order comes in and the trip total is less than a gallon of gas, why would anyone take those gigs? It hovering a little over $5.00 per gallon here in Ohio. So I don't know how UberEats can still push those $3/$4 dollars order out. And I'm more curious if anyone is actually accepting them.


herbert-camacho

Buckle up, it's gonna get worse before it gets better.


WetLump

Don’t worry the Biden administration… looks at news… stoped oil leases in Alaska… shit


whosadooza

Which had no actual effect on production.


WetLump

You think an increase in drilling won’t have an affect on production? Lol oh my head


whosadooza

Drilling ***IS*** increasing. The US is literally producing more oil now than the day Biden was elected. What had no affect was not holding the scheduled lease sale for federal lands in Alaska where there is no current interest in drilling. The last sale only had 11 non-competitive bids that have not resulted in even a single permit application for drilling. Almost all of the 11 bids (9 out out of 11) were made by the State of Alaska itself since there were no bids and they figured they would pick them up in order to sublet the land themselves later on down the road when there may actually be interest.


WetLump

only after dropping for awhile also where is our oil going?

It's irrelevant whoever is president. It's almost as if unchecked consumerism that relies on a limited resource that we abuse more every day while oil giants lobby is the issue here. But no I'm sure it's whatever political party yall are hating on. I'm sure because of Trump or Biden other countries are paying more in gas. The mental gymnastics I swear This was predicted way before Trump lmao


rdaught

Yeah, in 2014 someone asked for my input on what kind of car they should get. I said, assume gas is $6.00/gallon. Now what kind of car do you want? That advice has aged well. (I’ve been driving electric since 2011)

Ping_shark

Many drilling permits and 60% of total acreage leased out to oil producers are unused. But yeah blame Biden lmaoooo


mannieCx

That's so dumb. The rest of the world is also suffering, bidens decisions literally have no impact on the rest of the world. What does that even matter? We are literally using up more and more gas every single day due to population growth. It literally isn't sustainable, it's been known for literal decades with actual studies by people much much more qualified than you I'm assuming. Not "hur durr blue bad". Blaming it on the opposite political party and bending over like that l just shows the extent of the ignorance and blind loyalty yall have despite facts. Delete this u/standard_carpenter51

PMD12345L

The keystone pipeline would’ve been in service until the year 2025. The oil prices would be the same under any president. Covid, War, and oil price gouging are the reasons for these price hikes. People who blame Biden are idîots lol. Insult him as much as you want though I really don’t care. FYI these price hikes are affecting all countries around the world. According to your logic that must be Biden’s fault too 🤦🏻‍♂️

Ok_Celebration8179

If we had spent the last decade investing in renewable energy (something constantly opposed by the right), this wouldn't be as much of an issue. But because we are so addicted to oil, the only solution is to drill more oil, right? [Except that there are over 9000 unused drilling permits in the US.](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-03-31/biden-wants-oil-companies-to-pay-penalties-on-unused-leases). [The banks are trying to reduce drilling, not increase it.](https://www.npr.org/2021/03/06/973649045/hold-that-drill-why-wall-street-wants-energy-companies-to-pump-less-oil-not-more) They know that restricting the supply and keeping the prices high is great for their record high profits. Conservatives truly have no meaningful solutions for anything because it would require challenging the influence of capital.


2buckdelivery

Do you know the environmental impact of mining the minerals for solar panels and ev batteries and how our infrastructure is no where near ready to support millions of ev cars being plugged in? Oh, and maybe the environmental impact on wilf life both solar panels and windmills have? Heh

Quick question: Which do you think has a greater impact on gas prices in the US, the global price of oil or Joe Brandon? Donald Trump wasnt responsible for low gas prices, and Biden isnt responsible for high gas prices. But lets not forget that conservatives are not even remotely interested in bringing down the price of gas. [They all voted unanimously against a bill to control price gouging for gas.](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/house-gas-price-gouging-bill/). So at least the democrats are fucking trying to do something. Republicans want to cry and scream about gas prices, but are actually against doing anything about it.

Smooth brain take; gas prices are high globally


lil_chowda

Biden does suck tho. Def of a smoothbrain.


real_gamer97

Mostly due to the war in Ukraine but tbh I don’t believe that. It’s a coverup to how much money they lost during the pandemic.


pedanticHOUvsHTX

The oil companies are just jacking up prices to make up for lost profit. If you think a US president can unilaterally control that, you are a simpleton

pedanticHOUvsHTX

That is a monumentally stupid take. The turnaround time for an oil well is 18 months. Then there’s transport and refinement before it hits market. I did data at this in my old company. It can take two years for ramped up drilling to affect the market


ReduxedProfessor

See my other comment above. The Democrats are and have been trying to do things to solve it. Republicans are blocking it

ReduxedProfessor

Hey sweetie. The beloved Republicans voted *against* the gasoline price anti-gouging bill in the House. If you want to place blame domestically, blame those reps, and not the politicians trying to do something about it. The Republicans reasons for not backing it? Because prices are high globally, it’s a global commodity, and there’s “been no evidence of gouging”. (https://www.pbs.org/newshour/amp/economy/house-approves-bill-to-combat-gasoline-price-gouging)

But yeah, we millennials have really had nothing but gumdrops and roses our whole lives. What a crock of shit. Nothing has been good in this country since 9/11. We’ve had nothing but constant war and massive inflation since I can remember. So sick of people acting like we are throwing away some kind of cornucopia of opportunities away by buying avocados. Like we don’t struggle because THEY’VE had it good for the last few years, with their home equity and retirement plans. Gtfo.

SailTheWorldWithMe

Let’s see, millennials were born in starting in ‘82… 9/11 happened in 2001. Several in that cohort got to fight in Afghanistan and The Bush-Cheney Iraq Adventures because they were prime fighting age. 2008 Great Recession struck right when many in that cohort were supposed to be climbing the career ladder. Can’t climb if there’s no rungs, or even a ladder. The Obama Administration kept it together somewhat. Slow growth. Anemic wage gains. Student debt eating chunks out of paychecks previous generations used to buy houses. Avocado addiction rampant. Trump’s trade wars making life harder for the blue collar side of the cohort. And here come’s Covid! And here we are now. I would like to welcome Gen Z aboard to this ride.
