      FWIW haven’t seen gas that cheap here in the USA for a while either.

      I bet some places have had it that low, but $3/gallon is the cheapest I’ve seen in years

        USD 3/gallon = CAD 1.109/litre

        That’s still cheaper than I’ve seen for quite a while, though I have seen close. When converted, the gas prices where I live are closer to around USD 3.5-4/gallon. It does occasionally dip down to closer to what you were saying, though not quite.

    Holy shit that’s cheap gas! After some quick figuring I paid $4.14 USD to fill up this weekend.

      The US is a major exporter of fuel now. So it makes sense.

      Also we have some very dumb people that measure the presidency/economy by how much it costs for them to fill up their lifted dodge ram pick-up truck. A loaf of bread could cost $10, but as long as gas prices are a single cent lower they will worship the party in power.

      It’s very frustrating to see

        Its getting close to that…I’m seeing artisanal breads at the normie supermarket (as in, not the fancy supermarket, not the ghetto supermarket) upwards of $7.

        Seen packs of gum at checkout for that much, too. The cupholder-containers of like Ice Breakers and shit.

        “Chewing gum” is (almost) no longer the cheap alternative to smoking.

        Is this what winning looks like?
