Come to central Texas. Even if we don't count the ones coming out of the factory in Austin, we have a lot of Teslas here. There are even plenty of chargers for them.

I filled up for $2.33 in Biloxi, Ms. last Friday. Gas here was $2.42 the day before Hurricane Katrina hit us in 2005. It was below $2.00 when Trump left office in 2020. They could still be making money at a dollar a gallon. I'll be 77 next month. I remember paying ten cents a gallon in Louisiana when I was a teenager. Today at less than $2.50 a gallon I can still go to a lot of retirement places I enjoy.

Has Gasbuddy changed their search page?
Anyhow, regular gas and diesel are about the same, with the cheapest about $3.20.

I would like to see some REAL data based on facts. So far, those that own an EV simply make "claims".
OK, say I drive 200 miles and use 6 gal of gas at $3.00, so my trip costs me $18. OTOH, take a Tesla and make the same trip. How much does the charging station charge you?
Yes, very much so, for the worse.
You can't look at a town to see all the prices of gas, now.
They only list six or so pumps............... bummer.
Gas and oil prices are the Canary in the coal mine. Once they start to drop everything else falls in line shortly thereafter. Like it or not we are a country that runs on fossil fuels and fuel prices have a direct impact on COL across the board.

Tell that to my electricity provider, they have gone up four cents in four years per KWH. My bill is up $71 a month versus four years ago.

As somebody who lives at the butt end of the supply line, the price of goods often reflects the price of fuel. However, I have a suspicion that corporate greed is going to keep prices high. In many corporate minds, they are still playing catch up from COVID.

$2.36.9 at my closest Sam's Club this morning. I filled up. Most every other station nearby is in the $2.50-2.80 range today, up a dime or so overnight.

Fuel prices are a significant portion of the consumer price of nearly everything. Electric generation, goods manufacturing, and goods transportation. Unlikely to change unless and until nuclear power takes off. That will probably be at least 20 years in the future. There are some interesting things happening on the nuke power front today such as small modular reactors. I sort of follow it.

Outside of nuke, coal is still best for boiling water. Worked on just about everything; ships, rail etc for 200 years. We can "transition" (I hope it's OK to use the word) to something better in the next 50 years or so, not by next week. Joe
Every advanced nation runs on fossil fuels. It's not just fuels, it's oil and gas in general.
The only more efficient and ecologically sound energy source is nuclear and the "environmentalists" oppose it.

Not so much as they used to.
I can understand that thought process, however corporations have a hard time thinking longer term than the most recent quarter. So, FWIW I don't think the losses from 2-3 years ago is really at top of mind for executives at this point in time. That was then and this is now, if they are publicly traded it is all about the most recent Q, YOY and CAGR. I could easily be wrong, but after spending 32 years in financial services and never hearing an executive talk about losses in past years I feel confident in my analysis.

I paid $2.30 yesterday here in Houston.
Could you possibly make a more irrelevant, pointless post?
Who cares what the cost per liter is in a former Soviet Republic state half-way around the globe?
So, what's your point? To remind us all that you are some kind of global-traveler, and therefore more informed and knowledgeable about conditions around the world than us provincials?
Inquiring minds want to know. But that the same time, WHO REALLY CARES?
FWIW, here in the USA, on the eastern border of Washington state, prices are still hovering around $3.60-$3.70 per US gallon.
Feel free to do the math and convert that to cost per liter for our education and edification...
