    And yet, everytime he claims something, some stupid shit head believes it.

    I jokingly said, “Man, I’m loving this $1.98 gas” at work, and some fuck face agreed with a, “Ain’t it nice”.

    Gas is at least $2.74 in a sixty mile radius around my town.

      That’s some of the cheapest gasoline in the world… I would be careful complaining about it.

        You know, honestly, he could score a win if he used real had prices. 2.70 here ain’t bad and some places have 2.49.

        If he legit said, hey, gas prices are floating around $2.50, he could score points. But no, dummy had to exaggerate it to a redonk price.

        Just did the conversation. UK is roughly $7.50 per gallon (£1.42/liter). I’ve seen it up near $10 in some places.

            Oh, they are working on fixing that. Our public transport was “privatised” a few decades back. It’s a shadow of what it used to be. A few places have improved, but it’s often local efforts.

            Walkability is a godsend however. Interestingly, Milton Keynes proves you can have the best of both worlds. It has a robust road network. However, the red routes mean you can get most places with minimal road crossings. Either on food, bike, or e-scooter.

      2.74 USD / gal. is equivalent to 0.99 CAD / L

      Anything below 1.50 CAD / L is considered cheap where I live. I’m jealous of your gas prices
