Like $0.13 per KWh at home, minus whatever the panels generate. Probably not going up since it's all hydro anyway

Topped up diesel @ AU$1.69 / L last Tuesday. It is now AU$2.19 / L. This is in Sydney, Australia.
I'm at 1.7 β¬
Free as usual, I siphon it out of public school buses in low socioeconomic areas like Ronald Regan intended
I tried that, but I froze my lips because the school buses nearby run on LPG.
This morning in Northern California: $4.89/gallon for regular at Costco, which is a good deal in my area, although you have to have a paid membership to get it.
Oh, just the regular $11.50.
India, ~100 INR/1.08 USD per litre (ie frozen), the government has refused to hike prices for now.
$2.99 this morning in northeast OK. It was $2.39 on March 1st, and jumped to $2.99 on the 2nd. I was surprised it didn't go up this morning... But I'm sure it has gone up since I drove to work.
Soooo glad I have a silly little fuel efficient car.
$3.79/gal in western Pennsylvania..
It's around 2.20 per litre here.
im hoping for $10, fuck Cars. It's not like this same shit hasn't happened before and the same thing repeats, had decades to navigate the changes needed and just ignored it... Insanity
My dream? an 80% reduction in private cars, and the rise of e bikes and e scoots, medium density housing, and more tree cover; quieter, friendlier, less deadly cities, you know 15 minute cities.
had decades to navigate the changes needed and just ignored it⦠Insanity
it is insanity, but not for the lack of navigation; it was about preventing china from gaining economic leverage with affordable electric vehicles and scalable renewable technologies.
That makes no sense lmao
it makes perfect sense

NYC. $0. Walk and take transit. Sorry, I'm insufferable about this but it's really nice.
Iβm curious how energy costs affect public transit. Of course they have very good bargaining power and are well set up to augment energy prices.
To ~~Google~~ DuckDuckGo!
Fare changes usually are slower to change than gas prices for customers at the gas station. Bus fare in NYC is $3, and they can't just change that day by day. (Unless our new mayor makes the buses free to ride!)
It might be more expensive as energy costs go up, but services aren't supposed to be run at a profit. The value in a mass transit system is very high.
But there is probably an impact. Now I'm curious about how they decide the fares
They vote on it when they do the budget, MTA board decides.
Canada V3L. Transit is amazing, but only when it's train-based.
I loved the MTA and PATH when I was there.
My closest supermarket has Diesel: Β£1.509 Unleaded: Β£1.379
If my rough calculations are correct, we'd love to have gas prices that are only 50% higher than that. π¨π¦
Still $0.35/kWh at the DCFC I usually use. It's still cheap season. Will probably go up to $0.39 in June.
$0.13 at home, I think. Might be up to $0.15.
If you converted that to eMPG it would actually contribute to the conversation, particularly with the increasing costs of electricity.
Those units don't describe the same thing. Not to mention eMPG is arbitrary and not a particularly useful or accurate way to describe much of anything.
If what you're looking for is cost to operate, it's about 3 cents per mile on home charging and about 8.5 cents on DCFC. I tend to average 250 Wh/mi.
I think what they were looking for (after a cursory search of the post title) was literally gas prices, not electricity prices lol
I don't know exactly but, it's "bad" like everywhere else.
Really looking forward to everything costing more, again.
It's just so surreal that the entire world needs to suffer because Trump is a pedophile child rapist and is happy to throw us all under the bus to avoid people thinking about that.
I'm Australian, and really, really starting to dislike our close relationship with the US. I can see it's a pragmatic relationship, but I hate that we have to sign on to all the idiocy - I really want our guys to tell Trump to stick it up his ass even if it costs us.

Electric car and solar pannel. πΏπΏπΏ
That's nice, what car?
Mitsubishi i-MiEV/Peugeot Ion/Citroen C0 (same car, different branding). This car is awesome. Cheap, can park anywhere, nervous at the start, and surprisingly spacious for its tiny size. I already carried wooden planks of 2.4m (7.8 ft) inside. Too bad it is not produced anymore π’
I don't need to compensate with RAM or Dodge truck. The Peugeot is spacious enough to fit my two huge balls inside it.
I'm shopping for an EV, the market is so anemic there's essentially only 1 model from 1 brand that's not a humongous child killer.
How about the Hyundai?
The ionic? It feels overly long. I'd much rather have a sporty hatchback.
1.77 CHF for unleaded
Thanks to trump;
Northeast US, ~$2.70 3 days ago, ~$3.10 today and I expect it to continue to rise.
#winning
Edit: $3.19. Up 9Β’ in 4 hours.
I paid $3.50 today
Your lucky. I haven't seen prices like that in years. We're around $5 in the northwest us

Bad. Even you if you live in a country that exports gas, prices still can rise.
Because gas prices are not controlled by supply and demand, they are price fixed.
4.15, PNW, today. Typical range is 3.80 - 5.30
We're a car-light household, so it doesn't affect us too much. I still want better mass transit options, though.
South Australia, my fuel gained 30c/L yesterday. I work at the servo, I put the prices up myself :(
2.05/L to 2.35/L
Netherlands, Amsterdam: around 2.62 eur / litre (for US readers that is around 13.75 usd per gallon). It's a ~25% hike in the last couple of days
*cries in dutch
Thanks Donald!

Southern Europe, went from 1,7 euro/liter approximately to about 1,85 recently, so about 9% increase.
we have not been driving and I have not filled up in at least two weeks.
Germany: Just over 2β¬ per litre, that's about $11/gal
