Gas is $4 a gallon?

More like over $5.00 per gallon, but your point stands.
So normal Europe prices from before this thing. It's up to $8.50 per gallon there now.
Are you comparing the same gallons?
My gas was $3.09/gal this morning

Still too expensive but not exactly going to bankrupt me.

$4.50/gal+ as of a couple days ago in Vegas. Probably higher now.
SoCal gas is at least $6.85 a gallon.
Not that high. In the 5s.
$6.84999 at the Shell station near my gym this morning.
$5.66 today at the arco nearby. LA fwiw.
Understood. This was in Manhattan Beach which is expensive for everything but still, that delta is incredible.

Actually, I noticed one near there yesterday on PCH (forget which station) was $6.89999 for the good stuff.

That would be double my cost of gas where I am from 2 years ago. That's insane.
Insane was me paying this much during the gas price hikes in the early 2010s. We aren’t even there yet. Adjusted for inflation thats probably $8 gas.
$5.5 in PA.
Cries in UK $8 a gallon
Your gallons are a bit bigger than US gallons, but not 2x bigger.
Assuming US gallons, $8/US gallon works out as £1.60/litre. That sounds about right for current UK prices, depending on what and where you're buying it. (Yes, fuel is expensive here compared to the US; that's largely down to fuel duty and taxes.)
WA state. I would be ecstatic if it was $4.
Same. I don't think I've seen prices below $4 in seattle since like 2021, with a few exceptions here and there.
