So cheap :D, if you convert, it's like more than 10 USD in France

The US is 18 times bigger than France and uses a lot more fuel to transport goods across the nation. The price of diesel severely impacts everyone here.

In the meantime China reduces oil usage while caring for over billion people.

California gets to enjoy higher gasoline prices. Most stations in our area, including Costco are around $5.80/gal and the Chevron stations are over $6.00/gal

If the high prices are due to war and supply-chain issues ~  why are the oil and gas companies making huge profits?

I don't have that answer but many of the major oil companies also do oil exploration, so they make more money from their crude.

It seems some are quoting diesel prices and some are quoting gas/petrol prices. There’s a big difference here in the states between the two. Is that the same in other countries?


Current average US prices. 
 

The$4.31 per gallon for regular gas and $6.20 per gallon for diesel
  • Regular Gasoline: $4.31
  • Mid-Grade: $4.81
  • Premium: $5.20
  • Diesel: $6.20
  • E85: $3.29 [1]

Jer 29:11-“For I well know the thoughts I am thinking toward you, declares Jehovah, thoughts of peace, and not calamity, to give you a future and a hope.”

Psalm 56:3-“When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.”
Romans 8:38-”For I am convinced...”

Yes, it’s similar in Brazil. We also have different prices for gasoline and diesel.

 

Here in Brazil, we pay in Brazilian reais (BRL). As of September 2026, regular gasoline is around R$6.60 per liter, while diesel is around R$6.50–R$6.90 per liter.

 

I converted the prices to US dollars only for comparison: that’s roughly US$1.30 per liter for gasoline and US$1.27–$1.35 per liter for diesel.

 

So yes, there is a difference between gasoline and diesel here too.

I am on a fixed income from SS benefits. We will get a small increase and the last 3 years since I started it only covers the increase of part B so I don't look for it to be different this year. May I ask how you are coping with the increase in fuel since most need it for work and service? It's mostly retired pioneers out in our hall during the week because the others are working and have families. I'm curious as to how fuel increase will effect our ministry? I always contribute to the gas fund because some are not able. We had an announcement a month ago re contributions being a little shy , you could tell it was an uncomfortable part the elder had to address.

People in my country Philippines are  angry while others feel hopeless.

 

Oil price hike and unstoppable inflation... 

 

Do you think it will get worse or will it get better?

If worse, will it lead to great tribulation?
