I remember European gas prices from our last few times there. You must love when we complain.

Maybe if we adopted prices like you guys more people here would be as progressive and ahead of the curve as me.

Electrical prices are sky high too

Oh totally! Back in the day I was able to gas up through AAFES on base (long long time ago 😂) which was super cheap. When I’ve been back to the US and saw prices at 4 bucks / gallon with people complaining, I thought they should try and ride their gas guzzlers here.😂😂 I’ve got a diesel VW Golf, which does pretty well on miles/gallon.

At these prices, driving at high speeds on the autobahn isn’t much of an option anymore…

Sounds like a fratricide. I always worried just as much about being targeted by friendly SAMs as enemy ones.

Save your breath, @Diehardfan and @lynched1 are obviously the same retarded person lmao.

US officials are prepared for potential suicide attacks, in addition to more retaliatory missile strikes, targeting American facilities & personnel abroad in response to military operation in Iran, source tells me. Most concerns are around Tel Aviv, Jerusalem & Qatar. Attackers could also attempt to use vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices, source added.

(Reuters) - U.S. average retail gasoline prices are set to break above $3 a gallon on Monday for the first time in more than three months as the conflict between the United States and major oil producer Iran interrupts global oil flows, analysts said.

That's potentially a major risk for President Donald Trump and his Republican Party leading into November's midterm elections as price inflation remains a key concern for voters. Trump has repeatedly - and often falsely- claimed credit for lowering gasoline prices since returning to office last year.

Average pump prices could surpass $3 per gallon on Monday for the first time this year, according to Patrick De Haan, an analyst at retail price tracker GasBuddy. Prices last broke above $3 nationwide in November 2025, according to GasBuddy data. They were as low as $2.85 a gallon in February.

"Oil will move first. Gasoline will follow — but gradually," De Haan said in a blog post after the strikes on Iran.

he death of Ayatollah Khamenei: "I got him before he got me. They tried twice. Well I got him first." That’s a reference to what US intelligence believes was a plot to kill Trump in 2024.

CENTCOM: "During active combat—that included attacks from Iranian aircraft, ballistic missiles, and drones — the U.S. Air Force fighter jets were mistakenly shot down by Kuwaiti air defenses.

All six aircrew ejected safely, have been safely recovered, and are in stable condition. Kuwait has acknowledged this incident, and we are grateful for the efforts of the Kuwaiti defense forces and their support in this ongoing operation.”

Ah that darling Tulsi… bless her heart!

Gotta love her devotion to Assad and Syria, Iran and let’s not forget Putin’s Russia. Good thing we have a very patriotic head of the CIA, who is not compromised.🤬

I charge for free at work AND have solar panels for when I need to charge in between work charge sessions.

Try to keep up with us enlightened, forward thinking folks meatball. Maybe then you’ll break away from your Dino juice.

Luna tries to frame the last couple of days as "military strikes" and won't accept that we are in a war. Classic MAGA bullsheet.

We have four months of very limited sunlight MushroomFly. What I do have is thermal heating in my house. Don't even need sunshine for that and no massively polluting battery to deal with down the road you future polluter you.
