    Canadian comparison: $6.79 USD/gal(us) is $2.49 CAD/L, currently.

    Gas around here in Edmonton, Alberta is between $1.45 CAD/L and $1.72 CAD/L depending how hard you look.

    That would be between $3.95/gal(us) and $4.68/gal(us)

      It’s about $3.69 to $3.99 right now around Cincinnati, OH. Gas in California is probably (if not actually) the highest priced gas in the country.

      But yeah the cost of everything going up since Trump took office has sucked. This war in Iran feels totally pointless, we’ve managed to hurt ourselves and kill a bunch of innocent people and all for what? Like honestly it’s beyond idiotic, it’s cruel and literally weakens our position on the world stage.

      There is zero incentive for Iran to allow free transit through the strait of Hormuz, now or in the foreseeable future. Even when this all ends it’s not going to go back to like it was before.

      Sorry went on a tangent there but yeah gas prices being this high because our president and current administration are fucking morons is so dumb.

      Thank you. I’m seeing like 1.69/L (cad) on weekday nights, and like 1.79 otherwise. Weird seeing us gas cost more haha.
