      Ffs don’t tell them that. They’re already flocking to NC in droves. They leave because they don’t like California and proceed to turn anywhere they go into California. If anything, THATS where we need a fucking wall.

    With all the plants overgrowing atop the sign, it looks like a picture from the post apocalypse, where the gas prices were obscene during end times.

        It’s $4.09 14 minutes from me according to the gas buddy and where I live the gas is more on the expensive side.

      Also since it’s Catalina, no offense but where are you going in a car? Everything in Avalon is basically right there. Aren’t all the vehicles on the island supposed to be under a certain size (and presumably have pretty good fuel efficiency) too? I haven’t been to Two Harbors so I can’t speak on the need for a car there.

        $7.35/gallon is €1.79/liter, which based on this page with data from a bit over a week ago is about middle of the pack, but pretty cheap if you’re just counting the richer countries that are probably more comparable to California in particular.

        In the UK I’m paying about £1.41 to £1.45 per litre. I’m no good at maths sorry, you’ll have to do the calculations.

          That’s about $6.85/gallon then, ouch. At least you have functional public transit overall unlike California.

          £1.45 per litre translates to $7.03 per gallon. So I would say the claim that prices are comparable to European ones is spot on.
