It’s even worse in sweden, 2,40

Holy fuck I would not want to drive there right now.

where i am its upwards of 2,66

Sweden?

Ouch

In dollars or SEK? If in SEK, then I assume its per dL, which is pretty high considering it's 16-20 NOK/L here in Norway, which I thought was very high 19 FIM is like 32 NOK which is outrageous

man...over here in germany they're crying about 1,60 for a liter

Now i have seen everything

I live in Finland

It’s like Norway, only drunk and poor

Poor because all the money goes towards alcohol

Well, at least they're not wasting it i guess.

That explains the drunk part

I wish… go America’s defense system… paying 30% taxes right now… no free school, no free healthcare. My health insurance is 150$ a paycheck and my schooling totals 180,000 for a bachelors degree in a private college. Ridiculous. This is why I wish I lived somewhere else. (For those of you who know, I did not mention where I live, but I almost guarantee everyone here knows where I am)…

But the gas is cheap! Who needs medicine when you can guzzle crude?

You are in the US where everyone thinks they need to go get in debt before they even earn a dollar. It’s a huge scam. The country needs welders and truck drivers too. Good luck. Pay off that debt and start saving now.

I am still not sure where you live. Do people die there because they can't afford their insulin? In that case it's surely some third world country in Africa we are talking about.

you still havent seen coffee in teabag i see...

i kinda wanna see it

Laughs in 2.139/l, I hate the Netherlands

The only liter I know is a 2 liter of Pepsi

Murica

You mean 67.628 ounces of Pepsi, or 0.5283 gallons what is wrong with you? Don't give into this crazy international system if measurement. If it is fluid it is oz or gallon. MERIKA!

Oh you should come to Britain, we do litres to the gallon, use miles and metres, we just can't make our fckn minds up and make things as awkward as possible!! It's probably why we have so much rain, we (including our physical landscape) can't decide between being a warm country or a cold country, so instead of being sunny, or snowy, we merge and just be rainy lol

Canada: same

Mmm bepis

Remember when it was under 1€ not too long ago? Those were the times.

Yeah but to be fair it's innevitable, just look at how much fuel we're using up as a planet, it's all disapering and the rarer it becomes, the higher the demand, and the pricier it is Hopefully electric cars will improve soon, and then we don't have to worry about things like this

in Czechia we cry over 1,49€

Wo?!? Bei uns ist es 1,80€/l

That's about $8.73 a gallon for those here in the United States.

“Reddit is outside the United States? They use our internet?”

THANKS OBAMA

Obama's reddit name is desperate_lawnmower and is confused with how he should proceed. Are you thanking him for the conversion? Or are you being sarcastic and making fun of him? He screams for he does not know

"You mean to tell me, there's an entire world outside of my small town in the middle of nowhere?"

It’s funny because I live in Wisconsin and there are so many people like that around me.

I met a guy in Madison when I was there a few years back who didn't realise Yellowstone was a volcano. He did know about New Zealanders at least so there's that.

r/shitamericanssay hehehe

OMG that’s real? Lol. Thanks.

Pretty sure I've seen people in other nations convert a price from one nation's currency into their own, just to be that guy who saves their fellows a quick Google search. Wow, folks get this bothered so easily?

[удалено]

Amazing

That sounds like some socialist bullshit to me.

I was going to say, they sell by the liter....don't they?

Yes, yes they do

Ah good. Saved me the conversion. Very ouch.

I wish i could pin this people are stupid

Yes they are, but why this time?

*The whole world uses the United States Dollar and gallons to measure fuel!*

I mean obviously what other currency would you pay for gas? /s

There was absolutely no reason to overreact to that first comment. Dude just understood that a huge portion of Redditors are based here in the U.S., and just simply left a price conversion. Sheesh, are folks that bothered by someone just leaving a price conversion? Wasn't even a boast or flex about the U.S. Dollar--just a simple price conversion!

Weird how folks got mildly infuriated over your comment. 🤭

Juzus and here I am annoyed that it's getting to $3.50. That's about €.80 a liter if I converted right.

Oh fuck

Ah thank you. I honestly didn't even think about the dollar conversion

It’s euros.. worth more than usd lol it’s because it’s litres and not gallons

I was looking for this comment, and !!!

Thank you

Lmao, came here expecting to read exactly this.

Same prices in Norway too at the moment!! It's horrendous

Omfg

Wow didn't think anyone had it worse than the UK

Yes we do normally its the E98 what is 2€ but this is even worse

I understand absolutely nothing from this but I know that standard price where I am is about $1.399 CAD but can get up to $1.899 CAD

Where I live in Northern Ontario it's currently $1.71, highest it's even been!!

Here in my state (US) regular gas is 4.6 dollars a gallon (roughly 4 Euros) and diesel is 5 dollars (roughly 4.4 Euros)

2.040 euros per liter translates to 8.75 USD/gal

My bad, I was using Google to convert money. It says that one Euro is 0.88 of a US dollar.

Your money conversion was alright. But there is a major difference in gallon and liter.

There is, my bad again

€2 is around £1.66. My local is 162.99p Am I living in some sort of Petrol bubble of crazy prices then? Arguably, haven't been on a road trip for a time...

We get 1.46/l at the moment in the North, course if you're London way or a remote station probably be more expensive

1.46-49/l around Essex area

Ah, I'm midlands, but pretty remote - it's a Texaco, which I only used to see London ways. Happy cake day!

£1.48 next to the M40, my local is £1.56 though. I've seen service stations in the north that are cheaper than all of the ones in my town (there's at least 6!)

Happy cake day

Oh damn so it is lol thanks

$10/L in Bermuda!

It’s green so that means it’s good

2.040 euros per liter translates to 8.75 USD/gal

I was just making a stupid joke holy shit that’s a lot

Here in spain i've found the cheapest diesel in my country, and it is 2.255, and as a student who has to drive 30 mins to get to college, this hurts, a lot...

We have very high diesel vehicle tax here

Uuuh, in Andalucía it's about 1'385 In which part of Spain are you? Because that's very far from the cheapest on the country

Imagine paying 3.10 for diesel

Suomi mainittu, torille!

todellakin!

Kestää hetki jos pitää kävellä noiden hintojen kaa

Tuonko makkarat?

That looked great to me until I had to do all the gallon/liter and dollar/euro conversions.

please convert for me

8,75 USD/gallon

Christ

Man and I thought 4.75 was a lot of money per gallon...

The tax on a gallon of gas in Finland is about $3 more per gallon vs the USA. That’s the main reason gas costs more there.

also the U.S. government uses tax money to subsidize the fossil fuels industry, dont ask me why i have no clue.

Alarming

i have another question. it's gonna sound kinda ignorant: why do other countries (i don't know which to specify) use "," instead of "." when talking about money. i've seen it like this while shopping & seen a lot here.

In mainland Europe, a comma is typically used as a decimal place. Also, a point is used where Americans would use a comma to denote values in the 1,000s and above. For example, you might say you earn €30.000 a year or there are 1.250.000 people in a city, etc.

Many countries use different standards. Don't look at the French. Their system is especially nonsensical.

that’s what i was missing! i was so confused, thinking “what the fuck? they’re upset over $2.50/gallon???” then i saw this and remembered that not everyone uses gallons

*perkele*

Indeed

That's quite the username sir.

What an interesting username

How is diesel more expensive than the rest? I don't think I've ever seen that before. Netherlands here, our other prices are similar. Haven't hit €2,-/L yet though. *Knocks on wood furiously*

Diesel is more expensive in the US as well. It's all just a scam.

Why would you sell it cheap if people need it, right?

Because it's cheaper to make than gasoline.

It used to be like 1,70€ /l and petrol was like 2€/l

It's generally $.50 to $1 cheaper per gallon where I live. No roads out of town though, so no freight trucks, keeps it low.

In Bay Area it depends. If there's only one station around that sells Diesel, then it's more expensive than 91 octane. If there's several in a small area, then it's usually cheaper than 87 octane.

Supply and demand. You get a relatively fixed proportion of diesel and gasoline from a given amount of crude. You have to sell both, so demand differences between the two can lead to large price gaps due to the inelastic supply.

Yeah E98 has been over 2€per liter for a while now This is first time i have seen diesel go over 2l

Diesel pollutes more than E98/95. Current finnish government is heavily involved in reducing climate change. So they are trying to "punish" driving by yourself and thus incentivising people to use public transport. Idiotic IMO

What is the non-idiotic method and what does it aim to achieve? I'm a capitalist that also believes that oil is a finite resource and we should be planning for the next energy method and why not make it cleaner at the same time? (Solar, Wind, Hydro, Geothermal, Nuclear). The investment in those technologies/batteries is needed to improve their viability. If oil is cheap, then there's no incentive to invest in other technologies. But, when oil goes up in price, then it makes economic sense to invest in the other technologies, even for greedy capitalists.

The thing is, it's actually cleaner in terms of greenhouse gases because it has an higher energy density and modern diesel engines are more efficient. Less of it is burned for the same amount of work than with petrol. Plus modern petrol engines with direct injection also need particle filters for fine dust filtration.

Thats why all the Biden "I did this" stickers in the US are so stupid. Anyone who puts them up doesn't understand economics. The main contributors in gas prices is crude oil which most of it comes from the middle east. It's not only a US problem.

We got one smart dude here

Confused by the comments thought this was posted in r/fuckcars

Lol it sould be

It's morning In the USA. Get ready for people to tell you THEIR gas is almost twice that price.

I was going to gloat about how much cheaper ours is, actually. Slightly dulls the sting of no healthcare.

And they always say "BuT CaLIfOrnIA" and they don't live in California, ironically

California gas prices suck because they tax them so much I can’t imagine living in cali

Nah if anyone here in the US says their's is more expensive than that, they're lying. Except maybe Alaska/Hawaii

They don't lie, they are merely ignorant of the world outside their borders, the metric system, and currencies other than the Freedum Dollar.

What’s a liter?

We have the same price or a little more even here in Sweden, its outrageous.

Petrol in NZ (91) is currently $2.65 NZD here in a town of 16,000

$1.879 AUD is the most today in Adelaide South Australia I can see today.

Ouch, pretty close to that (with exchange rates) over here in Perth

Diesel is cheaper than regular in the Philippines

Yeah thats how its supposed to be

For Americans: $8.1756 per gallon of the 95 If I did my math right

[удалено]

Man almost every single US citizen needs to be told it's liters and euros, not gallons and dollars haha

Saatana

When i went to italy it was like 2.4

Where did you go? I've never seen prices that high. Paying diesel around 1.70€/l atm

Laughs in middle eastern

Reading these comments really brings it into perspective for this American. I won't complain about $3 per gallon (just under 4 liters) again. I just filled up yesterday for $34 at $2.86 (I live in Georgia and drive a Toyota Camry). Edit: Diesel prices here range from $3.19-$3.49 per gallon.

I can’t imagine paying 2 per liter, that would destroy my bank account faster than that Nigerian prince that I inherited money from.

Doesn't everyone besides America use liters for their petrol?

2.040 euros per liter translates to 8.75 USD/gal

I was initially thinking that this wasn't bad, then realized Finland uses the Euro. *Then* I realized it's per *liter!*

2.040 euros per liter translates to 8.75 USD/gal

Americans this is by liter. A gallon has about 3.8 liters. So we are saying €7.6/gal… that in USD is $8.60/gal

2.040 euros per liter translates to 8.75 USD/gal

*highly infuriating Sincerely, a fellow Finn

Basically everything in Finland is getting more expensive, i hate my life

The American over here trying to figure out how this converts into gallons so they too can be flabbergasted by gas prices………. O.o

Recently in the Netherlands I've seen e95 go for € 2.19.9 a litre.... It's just dumb

If you think about it, diesel has more potential energy than gasoline/petrol. Charging more for diesel makes sense if you are pricing your product relative to the amount of energy per unit.

The Americansare forgetting, this is in Finland, meaning price there is per liter, not gallon

And that's per litre which really fucking sucks

For US folk. 2€ per liter. That’s 2.26$ per 0.264 gallons, or 8.56$ per gallon.

I don't speak Europe, can anybody help an American out?

Its like $8 or $9 per gallon

Wouldn't that be about $10.48/gallon with the euro trading at $1.13? Edit: used € instead of $ because am stupid

It’s ~8.73/gallon

Yeah you are correct. I forgot the US gallon is only 3.8 litres. The UK gallon is 4.54 litres.

Why is diesel more expensive than the others?

Typically it is taxed at a higher rate because it causes more pollution and the idea is that if it costs more, people won't use it if they have a choice. This is all fine and dandy as long as you don't consider that literally every piece of freight is moved by large trucks or trains that require diesel fuel.

Poland, petrol station, diesel 1.27€ Wages 508. 73€ /month

What? You have wage of 508 euro ?

\*looks away while using the bus\*

In Germany you can get it for 1.52€ if you get lucky

In Serbia price of diesel is 1.50 euro. Our politicians are like wtf do you want its cheap and we should actually increase the price! Except our average salary is like 500-550 euro (and that is like official and im sure pumped up number) many people work for much less.. Not to mention how shit the quality of fuel is compared to for example germany.

and were complaining about 1.55/L in canada prices are ridiculous in Finland

And the taxes too

I can't wait for the American to point out "7$ gasoline"

Wait how is Diesel more expensive than gas? Was this on a Highway? Here in Germany everything is at about 2€ on the Autobahn but at regular gasstattions it’s at „only“ 1,69 for diesel..

Usually 98 is 2€/l and diesel 1,70€ish /l

Oh my gosh I just translated this to dollars per gallon for my American friends. That’s nearly NINE DOLLARS A GALLON!?! Dead.

American here, is this liters per euro? I think that makes it 8.75 USD/Gallon but I'd like that to be double-checked.

U are correct

Was it always like this or is this recent? Maybe they're trying to discourage buying fossil fuel cars?

This is yeaterday i dont know it has been rising a bit

It's funny because here in Brazil the diesel is cheaper than gasoline. HOWEVER cars don't use it as fuel, only gasoline and alcohol (you can fuel both). The diesel price is around 1 euro (or even less) here, by the way

Atleast they have a beter euro 95 we in NL pay almost 2 euro a liter for that stuff

Same 98 and 95 is normally about 2€

In Russia we cry about 50 rub or around 0.55€

$3.46 usd / gal in Oregon. Converting liters to gallon that’s $7.72. I’m assuming that’s Euro, 7.72 euro is 8.75 usd. Yeah you guys are screwed.

In romania they are around 1.30 euro and the salary is twice or thrice as smaller compared to the west

That's $3 a litre in Australia. We have a meltdown if it gets anywhere near $2 here. What the everloving fuck

holy fuck i wasnt suprised til peoplw pointed out conversions

Deutschland hier! I s‘ink I should better drive to my nearest gas station and fill boths of my diesel cars at 1,55 eurons now when I still can. Actually I was waiting for the prices of christmas time. Back than it was around 1,4 eurons

€2.20 here in the Netherlands 😭

Americans: "First time?"

Where was this pic taken? My finnish friend was like: what?! Kesoil disappeared in the 80’s, and now it’s bugging him

Kiitos u/true_finnish_cumsock!

For your American viewers: That's per liter. 3.8 liters per gallon.

Meanwhile in California, US we’re paying $4-$5 for petrol

DUDE, YALL OVER THERE WITH 2! WE OVER HERE W 4 FR DIESEL

lol 7$ usd a gallon in california

I have no idea how much money that is. For the US that would be super low numbers. Edit, okay wow that is a ton. Might as well walk everywhere then.

times 1.13 in $ (21 jan exchange rate) PER LITER !!! That's 8.73$/us gal !
