Well! A bit out of the norm. As I was browsing through the themes I saw this theme regarding gas prices around the world. So here is my contribution.
I remember in 1992 when I came to the USA gas price in Chico was below 85 cents per gallon.
Here you see the cheapest price being $2.97 for one gallon of regular gas, diesel is $3.03 per gallon. Right down the block Shell gas station's cheapest price is $3.07 per gallon.

Here is what pablominto wrote and this should give us a sense where this ridiculous gas pricing is going...
Pranab,
I'm laughing my head off when I see you guys complain about gas prices...
When I filled up yesterday the price was NOK 11.39 per litre!
Converted to US$ that is 7.87 per gallon.
Have a continued fine day.

Greenie OK-

Hi Pranab,
I agree with Pablo. I have lived in the US for 3 years and heard to people complain about the gass prices getting realy high. I was still laughing, because it was so cheap compared with what I was used to back home. If I convert the price we pay in Holland, it would be USD6.68 a gallon.

Hi, Pranab!
A nice photo. It will be a part of the gasoline/fuel history of Earth. In my country the price is the same, but in Euro. I think that by the end of the year it may double. Of course, we have the green numbers to rely on;)

Hello Pranab
As Pablo wrote you have probably the cheapest gas in the world ;).
Interesting note and the image to it.

Hi Pranab,


Pablo and Niek are right; stop complaining, it's still cheap !!!
Nice work, my friend.


tfs and have a great week,

Dear Pranab, nice photo. As always, great picture quality and details...and an interesting discussion.

I do appreciate that in the US you guys have been used to relatvely low gas prices forever. I know because i visit every now and then and I've always marvelled at the price of the gas. When driving there, usually I fill the tank until it is literally overflowing...because the prices seem unreal to me..!! :- :-) )

So like Pablo i laugh too..! Here in the UK prices have always been on the very high side (compared with many countries-especially the US). For instance, presently the same quantity of gas (equivalent to 1 USgal is sold here for almost £5 !! (ie around US$8.9).:-)

So if it makes you feel better..smile my brother.. :-) you are not alone..! :-) Do have a great day

Hello Pranab!
Interesting photo! Я не видел такую простую фотографию! Просто и четко Бензин стоит - 3$!

Framing :-))
Idea :-))

Hi Pranab,

The prices here will possibly be $1.50 per litre before the weekend. With 4.54 litres to the US gallon you can see that we are not far behind the prices Pablo mentioned.
Good photo to remind us of the dependency we have on petroleum products. TFS,
David
