Finally, Americans see what Europeans live with.

Enjoy your Kia Piccantos 🤣

We can’t even do that…

This is kind of the problem. Most small cars aren’t even sold here. For another example, Ford sells the Mustang. Everything else is trucks, SUV’s, and commercial vans.

But soon you can buy a Xeinpeng Mighty Seagull with Android Prune Candy dispenser!

Don't they do a 1.6l Mustang these days?

[–] JordanZ@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Maybe in other countries but in the US the smallest displacement Mustang is a turbo 2.3L four cylinder.

Americans will eat from dumpsters before they give up their V8 pickups.

My v8 pickup shuts four of it's cylinders off when it's not under load, but I still drive my EV to work.

If my conversion is correct, that would be aprox 1.45euro/L for Reguolar. Super close to prior-to-iran-war prices but would love to see them pay 2.50.

For US netizens, again if I am converting the right way, 2.50eur/L of Regular would be around $11 per gallon.

Who is paying 2.50 a litre for fuel?

That's insane.

The pump close by at the highway is at €2,579/liter here in The Netherlands.

[–] dalekirkwood@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Wow. That's alot. But Netherlands is so expensive. I love the country but it's unreal how much you guys pay for stuff.

Where I am at right now, 1L of Super E10/95 octane is 2.10euro while Diesel can go as high as 2.29. Outside of the city I have seen 2.29 for Super E10/95 octane.

Not 2.50 yet, and probably will go down since, allegedly, Iran/USA bombing is done for now. But I cant pass over the fact that it got from 1.60 to 2.20 in a span of one month. Fucking happy my car has 1.2L engine.

[–] dalekirkwood@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

We are still at €1.50 here - feeling Lucky.
