Yep. Per liter for the gasoline I use hiked by a(n EU) nickel to 2.00 -- about $2.18 ... which puts my fuel cost @ around $8.70 per gallon. Won't drivin' the Chrysler 300 much, not anytime soon, lol. Neither of my Willys GPs aren't much better re: fuel efficiency, so the Viggen, which achieves ~ 24 MPG, is gonna be the go to for the next several ... what? ... forever?

Price at regular service station remains JPY166/L, and JPY156 at Costco. Not really any different to a few weeks ago. Prices here are generally stable and don't fluctuate much. I use about 10L per 6 weeks, so makes almost no difference to me.

Japan, momentarily, enjoys some measure of limited (negative) economic impact by the surging PPB crude oil worldwide, producer and consumer inflation in goods and services will result soon enough. So, while your petrol costs are (for now) stable, the nation will pay @ other points...

Heating Oil is approaching $5 a gallon , maybe more.

Maybe I should clarify - there doesn't seem to much (any?) day to day movement in prices - they stay pretty stable. News that causes fluctuations elsewhere barely register here. I would guess the difference is there is less opportunistic price gouging than other countries. The excellent public transport basically renders it a non-issue in any case. Prices of general goods and services have barely moved for ages.

Yeah I spent some time in Portugal and Spain back in the mid 90s and fuel was at about $4.50 a liter if I recall correctly. We’ve always enjoyed relatively low fuel cost here in the US, compared to Europe.
I gassed up in Rhode Island yesterday....practically free at $3.89 gal.
hey what is the price spread in brookville at present for using the getgo advantage pay? its 30 cents per here in irwin!
The last I looked, it was quite a spread.

We generally go to the store and get whatever we want. Then we started making a list for the store. Then started skipping things on the list once in the store. Then started substituting mostly can goods to hedge inflation. This week, I'm just not going. That will fix that.
And all that vintage American hardware in the garage that's been waiting on a decision to fix or replace? It just got a new lease on life.
As for gas, the 4 cars together have 1500 miles worth in them. Won't be getting gas anytime soon either. I now wear flannel jeans and a sweater in the house, temp at 65.
I want to make the other guy hurt more. I can go the distance.
Not the approach for everybody, but it's what I'm doing.

4,50 per liter ??!!?? Yikes, that makes today's cost relatively cheap.
$4.29/gallon yesterday here in southern Delaware, cost me $57.00 to fill up the van. Most I've ever spent at one filling.

So, diesel went to over $6gal+, strong. I just did an hour drive to a station at $5, but, it was like 25miles of winding canyon road getting there; pretty miles, but, miles, nonetheless..... There was a Tractor Supply on the way, so, I stopped and bought three, 5 gallon diesel cans; two are diesel, and one is kerosene, since that's all they had.
So, I topped off the truck, and filled three cans.
I'm now a fuel hoarder.
