Can I complain about fuel too?

Yesterday I filled her up for $11.68 a gallon (imperial). 😑

Edit: For the US gallon that is $9.73 a gallon.

@HootyTheNightOwl No, I just re-calculated it to match the other people who complain about prices. 😬
@Classified Yeah... I didn't think that something like that would happen without me noticing it...

@HootyTheNightOwl What haven't you noticed? 😯
@Classified Exactly!!! I still keep my finger on the pulse of coin collecting enough to notice drastic changes like that.

@HootyTheNightOwl That's smart

@Classified What was the price per liter in Euros??
Classified · M
@sarabee1995 It was €2.319 for a liter, if I remember correctly.

@Classified Wow, just double checking your math ... its crazy. I got a bit less than you, but yup, right in that ballpark. (USD$9.74/gallon).

@sarabee1995 I calculated with a rate that €2.319 = $2.57 and 1 gallon = 4.54609 liter

@Classified Ahhh .... 1 [b]US[/b] Gallon = 3.785 liter.

@Classified
1 [b]Imperial[/b] gallon = 4.546 liter

@sarabee1995 You are right.
Lemme edit. 😶

Still an imperial gallon is a valid gallon, but not the message I wanted to bring. 😋

@Classified Eh, not important enough to edit. Either way it makes the point. We pay a LOT less for gas (petrol?) in the US.
Classified · M
@sarabee1995 Edited already. I just listed both.
We are one of the most expensive countries in Europe with fuel pricing, I think. At least I hope so for the other countries here. 😅

Petrol/Gasoline yes.

@Classified We are probably one of the most subsidized countries when it comes to the petroleum business. 🤦‍♀️
Classified · M
@sarabee1995 I don't know about that, but it is the opposite here. Lots of taxes on it. 😅
sarabee1995 · 26-30, F
@Classified We tax it at the pump (heavily, but likely not as much as you guys), but we subsidize the industry enormously.
Classified · M
@sarabee1995 Sounds like it would be easy to remove some of the subsidy and some of the taxes and it would even out, but I guess it won't work like that. 😶
sarabee1995 · 26-30, F
@Classified Yeah, I'm pretty sure government financing and budgets don't quite work so clean. But I'm very much in favor of reducing all subsidies to almost all industries. In the world according to Sara, very few private businesses/industries would receive public dollars.

@sarabee1995 Worldwide they wouldn't receive subsidy? I mean if one government gives it, but another does not, you get distortion of competition. 😅
