Aren't your gallons about 20% larger than U.S. gallons? Wouldn't that make it closer to 41.7 mpg for the Mercedes and 25 mpg for the Porsche, in U.S. terms?

Chevron premium: $6.49 today.

All grades over $6.00 and definitely not the most expensive place in a one mile radius.

That is for premium outside of DC at Costco. Y'all people in CA are nuts with your gas. I think it's about $4.75ish at normal stations.

Talked to my in-laws today in France. They're paying about 2 euro per liter now, or about $8.40 per gallon.

The price of gas/diesel has literally doubled in France in a year. So you'd be about right.

Seems to be holding at either 4.29 or 4.39 here at most places. There are a few outliers that are as low as 4.04 and as high as 4.80. But those are few and far between. It hasn't budged much in the last week or two.

U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres :

The pain of soaring gas prices must be endured because any wider embrace of fossil fuels as an alternative is “madness” and threatens global climate targets

https://www.breitbart.com/poli...-good-of-the-planet/

Guterres is a Portuguese politician and a member of the Portuguese Socialist Party

The U.N. does seem more of a negative than a positive influence. It was better decades ago when it just was several super powers

Sam’s club in Hagerstown MD has unleaded this am for $3.59 a gallon. I’m sure there will be crazy lines. Just like last time the gas crunch leveled the average (outside of commiefornia and PA) at near $2 a gallon, I fear the new average will never drop below $3.

Sam’s club here is @ $3.61 a gallon.
One of the Phillips 66 stations nearby has gone from $3.99 back down to $3.64 this AM
If I use the app they take off another dime. So I can get "top-tier" gas for $3.54

Democrats plot to halt inflated gas prices by... printing more money

Democrats don't seem to ever learn Economics 101, do they?

That's obvious enough in their various bone-headed schemes to beat soaring gas prices at the pump by throwing new money at the problem.

Fox11 has the story:

One proposal comes from Reps. Mike Thompson of California, John Larson of Connecticut, and Lauren Underwood of Illinois.

The congressional lawmakers propose the Gas Rebate Act of 2022 where Americans would get an energy rebate of $100 per month (and $100 for each dependent) for the rest of 2022 in any month where the national average gas prices exceed $4.00 per gallon.

"Americans are feeling the impact at the pump of Vladimir Putin's illegal invasion of Ukraine, and right now we must work together on commonsense policy solutions to ease the financial burden that my constituents are feeling," Thompson said in a news release. "The Putin Price Hike is putting strain on our economy, and I am proud to be working with Reps. Larson and Underwood to introduce this legislation to provide middle-class Americans with monthly payments to ease the financial burden of this global crises."

The rebate follows the same phaseout as the most recent Economic Impact Payments (EIPs) where $100 will be given for single filers earning less than $75,000 and phased out to $80,000. The other part includes $100 for joint filers more than $150,000 and phased out at $160,000.

Ah. Putin did it. As if the inflated prices of fuel at the pump didn't start until Putin went medieval on Ukraine. Powerful guy, that Putin, commanding all those energy prices.

The logic of this bad idea is that gas prices can be treated with COVID-style stimulus checks — everyone gets one, and the Fed can print up another batch of cash to take care of the payouts.

What's wrong with this picture?

At some point one has to ask if these people believe the shit they spew. Are they are that stupid, or are they actively trying to hurt the United States?

I really want to believe they are that stupid, but their continued actions make me start to think it's on purpose.
