The cost of gas in your neck of the woods?

I paid AU$1.99 a ltr today for our BP98 Premium.

That’s US$1.23 / ltr so about US$7.50 / US Gallon.

I’m often told by Americans how expensive that is but it’s not really comparable, our countries are very different. The worst paid labourer or waitress is on $24.10 (US$15 / hr) all workers get an extra 11% on top of their wage paid into a pension fund, there’s a good public health service etc. I retired on an employer funded pension at age 59.

No one’s really happy paying $2 a ltr, lower grade fuel and diesel in my other vehicles is cheaper though, but life go’s on and it doesn’t seem to be a big deal here. Still way cheaper than siphon I lived in the UK.
 
I’m bitching about $3.90-$4 a gal, glad I’m not in another country lol

Wouldn’t mind another state tho, sold my truck, bought a 4 cylinder boring car to commute, etc.
Regularly pay ~ $4.50/gallon for 87 in SoCal (in the Chevy van).
Imagine my delight when traveling thru Arizona this holiday:
