I love all the comments from other countries stating “oh that’s still cheap.” Lil bro, I probably drive more in a month just for the menial shit I need to do than you do in a year, and I work from home. We don’t even fucking have sidewalks where I live.

Good news is, once enough of you cant afford the fuel anymore, you can easily convert one of the 8 lanes into a sidewalk. Or even... _gasp_ a cycle path. _dun dun dunnnn_

Bro I live in the Netherlands one of the densest countries in the world, with great pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure and good public transportation. The average work commute here is still 40km per day that’s 200km a week so 120 miles per week. And the majority of people use the car to commute. Gas is €2.34/L and Diesel is €2.58/L that’s €8.84/gallon or $10.2/gallon for petrol and €9.57/gallon or $11/gallon for diesel. So people all over the world are screwed even if they travel less. And even if you don’t use a car guess what will happen to food prices and public transportation ticket prices when diesel is as expensive as it is now.

Swap the F150 for a prius. Roll less coal I'm being mean. Your country is damn big. But your fuel is hella cheap. Do you drive 200 miles per day?

For some reason this comment reminded me of that Cuban dude that retrofitted his car to run on coal because of American sanctions. What a world we live in.
