Approximate location, price and date?
Edit: report back in a week any change if you remember.
E2: went up 9¢ since I posted this morning. $3.19 now.
E3: $3.30 now. ~20¢ in a day, 50¢ in 4 days.
Electric car and solar pannel. 🍿🍿🍿
That's nice, what car?
Mitsubishi i-MiEV/Peugeot Ion/Citroen C0 (same car, different branding). This car is awesome. Cheap, can park anywhere, nervous at the start, and surprisingly spacious for its tiny size. I already carried wooden planks of 2.4m (7.8 ft) inside. Too bad it is not produced anymore 😢
I don't need to compensate with RAM or Dodge truck. The Peugeot is spacious enough to fit my two huge balls inside it.
I'm shopping for an EV, the market is so anemic there's essentially only 1 model from 1 brand that's not a humongous child killer.
How about the Hyundai?
The ionic? It feels overly long. I'd much rather have a sporty hatchback.
Hyundai is about to release an ioniq 3, maybe it will be smaller
One can hope
Thanks to trump;
Northeast US, ~$2.70 3 days ago, ~$3.10 today and I expect it to continue to rise.
#winning
Edit: $3.19. Up 9¢ in 4 hours.
Your lucky. I haven't seen prices like that in years. We're around $5 in the northwest us
Sounds like Seattle
Ouch. Hate to say it but it’s gonna get a lot worse. One crude price just broke $100/barrel. It was $90 3 days ago.
I'm in northeast and just drove around from VT to ri yesterday. In mass gas was 3.30 gal, ri was similar +/- 10 cents depending on station. VT seems closer to 3.10 or so. Thank God the warm weather is coming so I can put the damn car away and ride my single cylinder motorcycle that gets 75mpg if I am easy with my right wrist... Also very glad I sold my SUV last year and got a little Impreza cuz that alone has saved me a couple hundred a month during the snow season where I have no choice but to roll in the cage.
5.00 and moving close to 6 thisvweek alone. Fun times
It’s going to get worse for sure, but in the US I expect this to have an upper bound of pain given how much oil we produce domestically. That doesn’t make us immune, but it should give some limits to the pain.
Not that I think this is ok or anything, just gives me some small hope that the bread lines might take longer to get to.
Free as usual, I siphon it out of public school buses in low socioeconomic areas like Ronald Regan intended
I tried that, but I froze my lips because the school buses nearby run on LPG.
im hoping for $10, fuck Cars. It's not like this same shit hasn't happened before and the same thing repeats, had decades to navigate the changes needed and just ignored it... Insanity
My dream? an 80% reduction in private cars, and the rise of e bikes and e scoots, medium density housing, and more tree cover; quieter, friendlier, less deadly cities, you know 15 minute cities.
We are dropping to a one car house. Our now single car is an EV, I scopt and take transit, and I can't be more ready for when we don't even need the one
had decades to navigate the changes needed and just ignored it… Insanity
it is insanity, but not for the lack of navigation; it was about preventing china from gaining economic leverage with affordable electric vehicles and scalable renewable technologies.
That makes no sense lmao
it makes perfect sense
It doesn't. If it was really a concern it'd be better to beat them to the technology
yes, it would be better, but we didn't because we lack the industrial capacity to provide both at scale and affordably so. so instead we just doubled down on fossil fuels and carved out legal corporate & governmental protections for harming people that we predict will get fucked over by climate change.
But that's just handing China the advantage without a fight, it doesn't slow them down at all. That's why it makes no sense.
we slowed them down by using super high tariffs on electric vehicles and solar panels and it makes sense from a geopolitical perspective. the united states & europe uses its economic leverage to control the world and letting people buy chinese electric vehicles, solar panels, etc. would give the chinese this same type of leverage.
trump, biden, obama, both bushes, etc. consider china to be the enemy, so forcing people to stay dependent on fossil fuels instead of green energy is a way of making sure that the united states stays in control; the same is true for europe.
that's also why we regime changed venezuela, libya, iran, etc. because they started selling oil using other currencies besides the american dollar and that would make the united states lose some of this leverage too.
But that's what im saying -- high tarrifs doesn't skow down technological innovation in China, of course they're way ahead of us now on EV technology. Yes, they did it to keep power over their United Statesian subjects, by keeping us in the dark they have more control over us. China didn't slow down at all because of that.
Exactly. So it wasn't that they ignored navigating, it was that their hegemony took priority.
I guess my point is they used to have a lot more power in China than they do now. It didn't have to be this way, the oil billionaires and automobile CEO could have found a way to monopolize renewables and EV technology at home too. They just operated off of fear and laziness instead of bravery and industriousness.
I'm glad they didn't; the morally bankrupt and depraved lengths to which American capitalists will go to for profit is slowly killing this world and they're in full knowledge of that fact.
They can afford the finest talent money can buy and I bet that China's primacy had little impact on their plans. I also bet that's why they opted to delay instead of deny China; it doesn't matter anymore.
I mean it's the classic revolutionary's dilemma -- does bringing the system down, which causes incredible amounts of death and suffering for the poor, worth it in the long run? IMHO it never is, because the system always finds the most painful and evil ways to go down, with no guarantee the next system is any better.
Ideally the system itself improves over time like we saw happen in the 20th century in a lot of other countries, and social democracy takes over peacefully. But sometimes the capitalists won't let that happen and insist on a tragic and violent decline instead.
with no guarantee the next system is any better.
there are living, breathing examples of better systems out there.
Yes of course, doesn't mean the leaders of the faction who win the civil war will install them.
The system didn't improve itself peacefully throughout the 20th century bro wtf are you smoking
Yes but there's different levels of violence. Some countries had more violent deadly revolutions than others. Maybe India is the main example, yes too many people died but it wasn't on the level of some other revolutions and wars.
I think your whole pov is confused. You want the system to improve itself peacefully but acknowledge to some extent that's not what improved it before. You don't want a proper revolution but instead small incremental improvements yet don't seem to understand the way things are now is a logical result of how our current system is structured. Tbh your viewpoint here just seems kind of naive.
Well what I want doesn't matter because I have no power. Are you saying peaceful gradual change never works at all? I agree it's not working in the US at all. But ultimately it's because that what those in power want. It would be a lot better if they allowed peaceful improvements, like has happened in some other countries, that's what I'm saying. There's also plenty of "proper revolutions" that end up with rich getting richer and poor getting poorer.
Germany: Just over 2€ per litre, that's about $11/gal
I don't know exactly but, it's "bad" like everywhere else.
Really looking forward to everything costing more, again.
It's just so surreal that the entire world needs to suffer because Trump is a pedophile child rapist and is happy to throw us all under the bus to avoid people thinking about that.
I'm Australian, and really, really starting to dislike our close relationship with the US. I can see it's a pragmatic relationship, but I hate that we have to sign on to all the idiocy - I really want our guys to tell Trump to stick it up his ass even if it costs us.
Gotta go your own way. Trump is trying to take the world down with him. We only have a few weeks before the oil restriction will cause international concern and militaries will start moving to open up Hormuz. Shit can go bad there.
Northern Netherlands, somwhere around 2,20 for E10 Euro 95, 2,30 for diesel. Diesel is not usually more expensive than petrol.
NYC. $0. Walk and take transit. Sorry, I'm insufferable about this but it's really nice.
I’m curious how energy costs affect public transit. Of course they have very good bargaining power and are well set up to augment energy prices.
To Google DuckDuckGo!
Fare changes usually are slower to change than gas prices for customers at the gas station. Bus fare in NYC is $3, and they can't just change that day by day. (Unless our new mayor makes the buses free to ride!)
It might be more expensive as energy costs go up, but services aren't supposed to be run at a profit. The value in a mass transit system is very high.
But there is probably an impact. Now I'm curious about how they decide the fares
They vote on it when they do the budget, MTA board decides.
Canada V3L. Transit is amazing.
I loved the MTA and PATH when I was there.
South FL, but my commute is taking the train for an hour or so, minus the fairly short drive to the station. The public transit life is great.
West coast they were already the 3rd highest. Didn’t see much change. Thought it was a tax increase. Average 4.25
Like $0.13 per KWh at home, minus whatever the panels generate. Probably not going up since it's all hydro anyway
Italy, between 1,65 and 1,85 for gas and 1,80 to 2,00 for diesel (liter).
Alberta checking in. Jumped from $1.31/L to $1.52 overnight. (That's about $3.65 and $4.25/gal USD.)
Ouch. Thanks for the conversion.
Netherlands, Amsterdam: around 2.62 eur / litre (for US readers that is around 13.75 usd per gallon). It's a ~25% hike in the last couple of days
*cries in dutch
Thanks Donald!
2,06 up north. Way up north
$5.19 at the cheapest near me in Los Angeles, 3/8. Just a week ago it was around $4.29, but of course I procrastinated filling up my hybrid since I still had a quarter of a tank left... Sigh.
It's around 2.20 per litre here.
Southern Europe, went from 1,7 euro/liter approximately to about 1,85 recently, so about 9% increase.
Gasco, $4.70 regular. It had been $4.30 for a while. North of Seattle WA.
great here in Chicago, at least for bicycle commuters
Was $2.49 a gallon in the center of the US and immediately jumped 50 cents to $2.99 a gallon overnight a few days ago.
we have not been driving and I have not filled up in at least two weeks.
Oh, just the regular $11.50 or so.
That's a guess though.
I saw 2,30 € per liter at my local gas station
and I just multiply by five for all the Usonians out there.
It'll likely hit somewhere between $25 to $100 by July.
Portugal, Lisbon: €1.81 / litre = $ 7.96 / gallon.
$3.79/gal in western Pennsylvania..
Yesterday in Spain prices were around 1,88 for diesel and 1,79 for leadless gasoline
This morning in Northern California: $4.89/gallon for regular at Costco, which is a good deal in my area, although you have to have a paid membership to get it.
I'm at 1.7 €
South Australia, my fuel gained 30c/L yesterday. I work at the servo, I put the prices up myself :(
2.05/L to 2.35/L
Carolinas. $2.39 last Tuesday. $3.29 today. It was $3.39 a few days ago. Thanks to trump and his refusal to go to prison over the EPSTIEN files.
Midwest $3.59/gal today
South West Florida, a week ago - $2.60, as of yesterday $3.69
Canada rejoices when our gas is only at us$5/gal.
Gee...maybe not buy so many SUVs and pickups then.
4.19 for 91 in Oklahoma 2.99 for unleaded
1.529 a liter. Good thing I have a subcompact!
Just watched the gas price go from $1.110 to $1.500 in my town in Canada. Very glad to be driving an EV.
Ah I remember those prices. Must've been somewhere around 2008, before I could drive. Funny how prices never went back there but they do keep going up.
Aussie (SEQ) here. Local lowest price for U91 is 189.9/L (505.48/gal US). Used to average around 152/L (404.6/gal US).
4 something a gallon for 93, I really don’t pay attention to the price
$2.99 this morning in northeast OK. It was $2.39 on March 1st, and jumped to $2.99 on the 2nd. I was surprised it didn't go up this morning... But I'm sure it has gone up since I drove to work.
Soooo glad I have a silly little fuel efficient car.
Today (March 8), US Midwest, $3.49/gal
$3.50 here too at almost every gas station in my area in the mountain states.
Two weeks ago I filled up for $3.00, and a few months ago it was $1.70 (that only lasted for about a week though).
Ooh, it hasn't dropped below $2 here in the last decade, as far as I can remember.
If my rough calculations are correct, we'd love to have gas prices that are only 50% higher than that. 🇨🇦
Gulf Coast 87 - $2.99/gal
$4/gal today.
Somewhere in Hawaii:
$3.50 last Thursday
$3.60 yesterday, Monday
$4.90 $4.10 today, Tuesday, but this gas station was also closed today
Pretty horrifying, thanks
Edit: my bad, it was 4.099 (as in $4.10) that Tuesday, not 4.90
It is Thursday, March 12, & it's $4.15 now.
Edit: it is Friday the 13th, and gas is $4.35 (4.349, but it's really 4.35 to me)
This gas station is still closed; Idk why they bother updating the aign
Ouch
Costa Rica - regular gas goes for approx. $4.76 USD per gallon
Indiana, $3.59/gal according to a quick check of Waze. I remember during Bush II in 2007 it got up $4.50/gallon near here. That sucked.
Wichita, KS.Hovering around $2.99 right now
UK - £1.30 a litre. Been steady like this fir months
South FL. At about 3.89 cash, 4.09 card. It was under 3.00 before the strikes.
California. Prices vary between $4.75 and 5.75 a gallon. We're in I think our third decade of paying 2x what everyone else in the US pays.
I mostly drive an EV though, so I can rest easy knowing that California electricity rates are 3x the national average. lol
Your electricity costs are awful.
People started buying EVs like crazy due to high gas prices; the utilities responded with big hikes in electricity prices. They work hard to fuck over consumers.
Bad. Even you if you live in a country that exports gas, prices still can rise.
Because gas prices are not controlled by supply and demand, they are price fixed.
4.15, PNW, today. Typical range is 3.80 - 5.30
We're a car-light household, so it doesn't affect us too much. I still want better mass transit options, though.
1.77 CHF for unleaded
My closest supermarket has Diesel: £1.509 Unleaded: £1.379
Northern Germany, E10: ~2.12 € per liter during the day, ~2.00 in the morning and evening. For E5, add 6¢ to these prices, for Diesel and SuperPlus (98 Octane instead of the usual 95), add 16¢.
At some point in the past I could fill my tank from near empty for around $20. Past year it's been closer to $30. I had .3 gallons left in the tank and filled up for about $40 today. My car is a microcar. I can't imagine how much filling a land barge would cost.
$3.19 per gallon. San Antonio, TX.
About one week on:
$3.65
Up $1. Just over a week ago it was ~$2.70.
Classic car owner problems ;)
Still $0.35/kWh at the DCFC I usually use. It's still cheap season. Will probably go up to $0.39 in June.
$0.13 at home, I think. Might be up to $0.15.
If you converted that to eMPG it would actually contribute to the conversation, particularly with the increasing costs of electricity.
Those units don't describe the same thing. Not to mention eMPG is arbitrary and not a particularly useful or accurate way to describe much of anything.
If what you're looking for is cost to operate, it's about 3 cents per mile on home charging and about 8.5 cents on DCFC. I tend to average 250 Wh/mi.
I think what they were looking for (after a cursory search of the post title) was literally gas prices, not electricity prices lol
