It is sorta funny watching Americans pay gas prices that many parts of the world actually already paid.
We have poor public transit and on average longer commutes. That makes it hurt the average person a lot more
Don’t forget the absurdly big and fuel-hungry cars.
That’s mostly fueled by cheap fuel (heh) .
Toyota really started to take off in the 70s when oil got bit more expensive.
Higher quality version
Edit: wtf when I initially looked OP was like 200 pixels and now it’s normal resolution
The 7th-11th son of the 7th-11th son.
OH oh ohOH
I call BS - I have never seen gas prices (in the US) that don’t end in a “9”.
there’s a snopes on it for some reason, was just on the sign to promote the store’s opening
It’s allowed if all the digits add up to 9.
Gas price gematria
I’ve seen all the other numbers for the least significant digit up here in Canada.
Though $7.11 per L would be crazy.
The end of days? Or a new color mtn dew? Can’t keep these straight.
So mote it be.

Sweet, is this when the dinosaurs come back to life and get revenge on us for using oil?
We’re going to need a reverse Jurassic Park…
Man brings back dinosaur, dinosaur wakes up working on an oil farm, dinos find out they are the oil, dinos help other dinos escape, dinosaur use man’s machine to get thumbs. Dinosaurs take back the world.And there’s the plucky comic relief best friend dino, he put one of his thumbs on backwards (haha) so it always looks like he thumbs-down good ideas.
In the climax our hero makes a big decision. Looks to the plucky best friend. The best friend locks eyes. Moves his dino arm up and -
Gives a thumbs-up
Why, did they want it?

The sign says 7 eleven so I am going to gamble on it being there.
Haha! Aha. Ooh, ouch
Reminded of I Am Legend’s premiere, where $6.87 gas got a nervous laugh from the audience.
And then years later we actually hit that price through normal economic trends, and chuds blamed Biden like it was his fault.
And now those same chuds refuse to blame The Idiot for surpassing that price as unambiguous consequences of his warmongering.
I would have preferred the zombies. Even if they do that late-2000s CGI stretchy jaw thing.
When they were building the station near us this was what they put on the sign until they opened.
