Sad thing is he absolutely did do that. Unlike Biden who was blamed for the chaos that came from the pandemic.

Hey me too! SoCal for those curious about the price.

Haha is that the picture of trump looking up at the solar eclipse?

I've always loved that one. Looking straight into a solar eclipse bare-eyed, proving how much of a genuine fucktard he really is.

It's Joe Barack Hussein Biden's fault.

[–] Microtonal_Banana@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 week ago

Well gas prices were definitely lower on February 26th before that asshole started a war with Iran.

$3.99 for E0 gas is a fucking steal. Normally you pay more for E0, this is below the country average right now.

3.99 is cheap. It’s $4.20 where I’m at which is still cheap compared to much of the country

[–] Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 week ago

rarely the president has as much responsibility for the gas prices

[–] TallonMetroid@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

It's almost like El Taco heard about people trying to explain that the president wasn't actually capable of affecting gas prices and went "hold my ~~beer~~ McD's".

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Also rare for the president to be a convicted felon. Yet this monster found a way.

[–] db2@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Probably less rare for them to be a rapist and pedophile but he's definitely the most publicized at it.

Unleaded 88, wtf ? Does the US have gasoline with such a low octane ? or is it the price in inch pounds per linear whatsadoodle ?

[–] JK_Flip_Flop@lemmy.world 28 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

The US uses a slightly different Octane rating system that averages slightly lower than the more common RON. The system they use averages RON with MON which is measured under different engine conditions. The pump is labeled with (R+M)/2 to indicate this in the image. According to Wikipedia, 88 is equivalent to 95 RON.

No idea why they feel the need to be different.

[–] Geobloke@aussie.zone 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I still don't understand, can you compare that to something completely arbitrary like bourbon, Coke or football ovals?

[–] Jerb322@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Not quite Everclear but stronger than Jack Daniel's.

Huh, how does the octane rating work in the US?

Common octane ratings in NZ are 91, 95, & 98.

I'm guessing that there are different ways to calculate the rating, rather than the actual fuel being that different.

[–] RandomStickman@fedia.io 25 points 1 week ago (1 children)

In Canada, The United States, and Mexico, the advertised octane rating is the average of the RON and the MON, called the Anti-Knock Index (AKI). It is often written on pumps as (R+M)/2. AKI is also sometimes called PON (Pump Octane Number).

Because of the 8 to 12 octane number difference between RON and MON noted above, the AKI shown in Canada and the United States is 4 to 6 octane numbers lower than elsewhere in the world for the same fuel.

There's a table in the wiki article that shows the equivalence of different systems

$4.57 here. $3.99 is the George Bush of gas prices. It sucks, but it looks so good compared to where we’re going.
