That’s dirt cheap.
Not when you live in an area built exclusively for cars where the cost of living is structured around gas being $3/gal. I’m thankful I at least live in an area of my state that is somewhat navigable by bike. The US sucks man
People in the rest of the world cannot take you seriously when you whine about costs per gallon and the rest has to pay the same amount per liter.
Well it seems people in the rest of the world don’t know how cost of living, inflation, or necessity work either.
The US is structured so you need a car unless you’re one of a lucky few in an urban area not built for cars. The nearest grocery store to me is a 20 minute drive in both directions.
The problem isn’t the raw cost of gas, it’s the relative increase in cost which raises the cost of living in step because you cannot live here without a car. It prices people out of getting to their job and going to the grocery store.

People in other countries are also reliant on cars. Even if public transport is available, it’s often overpriced and unreliable.

The same is true in the rest of the world and there the cost is much higher.
Gas prices in the US are about the same as they were in 1920. We’re a bunch of whiners.
Minimum wage employees in the 20s had more purchasing power than someone making $40 today.
Cost of living adjusted for average income and inflation is probably not the same as the 1920s tho. Dont have the numbers on me atm so could be wrong 🤷
How is 1€/L expensive?
$1.30
I remember prices in that area 25 years ago.
