1. And I thought $3.89 was bad yesterday. My sympathies!

[a kennedy]

2. Wow.....😳 😳 😳

[SKKY]

3. $7.19 a gallon in Seville, Spain...

...Europe isn't going to endure much more of this.

[Hulk]

34. We were paying about $8 US a gallon back in the 80's

Not so sure the higher taxes are directed to health care, as some have suggested. Their roads are so far superior to the cracked up, crappy roads we are driving on in inner cities.

You get what you pay for. I always thought gas should be taxed heavier all along - for road improvement...but then if you did, everyone in greedy amuriKKKa would pass that gas increase along to the consumers, and it would be a golden opportunity to gouge the little guy once again.

Our nation are such whiners and simple minded fools. That's partly why the gQp has so many following along of fox propaganda network and all the reich wing radio hate-spewers. "Simple solutions for simple minds". Getting into the weeds of information is too much trouble for the fox-mentality.

4. Gas has always been about twice as much as ours in poorer countries. The Bahamas were always out of

sight.

[Tomconroy]

5. What was it a month ago?

[msongs]

6. gas is normally much higher than in the usa nt

[RussBLib]

7. we are so spoiled in America

in so many ways

[jimfields33]

16. That's why our country attracts so many coming to this country.

We’ve added around 70 million since the 1980’s.

[Sogo]

8. Europeans pay high taxes on gas, in part

to fund their "socialized" medicine.

The cost of petrol in Europe has always been significantly higher there than in the US because of it.

[DanieRains]

9. Yep

We just borrow, and still go bankrupt when we get sick.

By the way...

The freeway from Lisbon to Faro is phenomenal. Paid $42 euro in tolls too. Expensive to drive here. Real expensive. Good thing they have trains that go everywhere for less than gas costs. Some go 250 kph.

No gas guzzlers here....

11. How many medical bankruptcies are there in Europe each year ...

Oh, that’s right… there aren’t any.

[Tickle]

10. We are getting

closer

[jalan48]

12. Is mass transit an option also?

[intrepidity]

13. $5.49 in NorCal nt

[AnotherDreamWeaver]

14. I paid $5.25 yesterday at Costco. nt

[Midnight Writer]

15. How much do they pay for health insurance "over there"?

[MontanaMama]

32. I've wondered the same...

I pay $2000 a month for my family of three here in MT. Not sure I could afford more in Europe.

[Skittles]

17. I am curious

do you have national healthcare?

I'd be fine paying that for gas if we had guaranteed healthcare.

[paleotn]

25. Yes, they do.

Every advanced nation has some version thereof except..............

[Skittles]

28. well, we are proof that is not true

I don't like folk comparing their gas prices to ours - when they go bankrupt because of medical care THEN they can talk

[paleotn]

29. I completely agree.

It's not an apples to apples comparison. Same comparing state taxes within the US.

[panader0]

18. $4.49 here in SE Az.

[PufPuf23]

19. Paid $5.82 yesterday at a Chevron in rural Northern California. nt

[JCMach1]

20. Paid more than $10 at some low point during Iraq war in GERMANY

I remember very well as I had rented the high powered Mercedes McClaren to scratch the Autobahn off my bucket list.

But oh my, the pain of the gas fill-up.

[leftieNanner]

21. Travelers always marvel at the cheap price of "petrol" in Europe

Until you explain to them that it's sold by the litre. (Notice appropriate spelling )

[Gore1FL]

22. Just under $4 here. It's up about 40 cents from when I last filled on Monday. nt

[Initech]

23. $5.87 here in So Cal.

[70sEraVet]

24. Gas here in Tennessee is still less than the cost of freedom!

[jcgoldie]

26. Thanks Joe Biden!

From everyone in Portugal...

30. Price in Central Mexico at Mobil is $3.79

That's pretty much been the price for quite a long time. No major price increases during this time of "gouge and make a dollar" in the rest of the world.

Pemex is the national gas network here in Mexico, but in recent years they have allowed other petroleum companies set up to compete. Prices are really about the same. It varies maybe a peso between stations. It does get cheaper up around Nuevo Laredo...but I don't like hanging around up there on the border any longer than necessary.

We were paying these prices right along for the last several years. Something to be said for nationalized petroleum production.

31. We have to turn the screws on Putin.

Unfortunately that means more at the pump. Hopefully it pushes people to EVs, or at least more car pooling.

[marieo1]

33. We are all fighters for what is right

We all have to do what we need to do to fight the USSR............Thank you, everyone!!!
