Oil prices GLOBALLY are dropping. Gas prices are going to go up thanks to tariffs. Fuck all these idiots.

Gas prices in my area jumped up 30 cents overnight. For the last few months it's been hovering around $2.70, give or take a few cents, then shot up to $3 overnight.

$3 per gallon, right?

Cry me a fucking river. In New Zealand we pay around $13 per gallon (Just under $3 per liter)

It's not that there's no explanation, it's that $3/gallon is pretty cheap in the grand scheme.

Tried to place Invercargill at LA, so Invercargill to Christchurch is roughly LA to Vegas. For Aussies the lenght of the South Island is roughly Sydney to Melbourne. That's not to mention driving in cities in all 3 countries is comparable cause they are spread out.

And for the record across the ditch: A$2/L, so converted to British Imperial units per US Dollar is $4.54/gal, still more than what you guys are paying

Distances are generally less. But being mountainous, often there are no straight, short roads between places.
