Americans Buying Fuel In Jerry Cans To Hoard And Resell by FSBoperator(op): 3:41pm On Mar 27
There is chaos in the US now over ever spiking prices of fuel with Americans now queuing up to buy fuel in jerry cans to resell in the black market.

Also, diesel prices in California are now over $8 per gallon which is approximately $2 a liter.

Americans will have to learn how to walk again.

Choi... It means the op never really travel, America's litre and ours are different. Infact their measurements is quite different from ours. Infact it's normal for them to sell in gallons than litres.

As if the fuel crisis isn't affecting everyone, why America matter own matter pass for you pass cool

Still not as bad as Nigeria because our minimum wage is way too minimum in every sense of wage

The first picture is a stock photo, and the second is the picture of a single gas station in Downtown Los Angeles famous for gouging price. The average price/ gallon(3.785 lifters) in the US is $3.978. in some states like Texas fuel is cheaper than Nigeria.

This image depicts a long queue of people waiting for gasoline at a Hess gas station in New York City following the devastation caused by Hurricane Sandy in November 2012.

Sandy Aftermath: The power outages and supply chain disruptions caused by Hurricane Sandy led to severe fuel shortages, resulting in massive lines and waiting times at operating gas stations.

Emergency Measures: The crisis prompted new regulations requiring certain gas stations in the region to have backup power capabilities to ensure pumps can function during future outages.

Fuel Acquisition: Customers are seen waiting with portable fuel containers because many gas stations were closed or out of fuel.
