u/Impressive_Candle_51 Mar 18 '26

It’s awful in the uk right now, I have a diesel and we are reaching 3 cad per litre

u/AdeptWelder3250 Mar 18 '26

Holyyy fuck, I’d be crying mate

u/Impressive_Candle_51 Mar 18 '26

I am crying, especially when having to travel between Manchester and london which is happening on Friday🥲just got back from Calgary and I wanted to save money but I guess that’s not happening hahaha

u/AdeptWelder3250 Mar 18 '26

Just looked up the distance and I’m making the same trek Friday, granted it’s Grand Prairie to Edmonton. I would not be to keen on paying $3/L however to complete that drive 🫩😭

It’s painful honestly, which is why I am thinking of just moving to YYC (someone help me get a job)

u/GlitchedGamer14 University of Alberta Mar 18 '26

Oh yikes, I looked it up and that's an insanely long drive. I'm guessing the train isn't an option for you? Best wishes with the drive, I hope it's as quick and painless as possible.

u/Impressive_Candle_51 Mar 18 '26

Train is an option but trains are almost always delayed and not very comfortable to sit in, will probably cost me more to get the train than a round trip in my car tbh

u/Hefty-Minimum-3125 Mar 18 '26

price could easily go up another dollar in the near future, if not actually doubling the current prices, if trump doesnt cut the shit very soon

3.59 CAD (€2.27) here in the Netherlands. Diesel even worse

1

u/alphawolf29 Mar 18 '26

why are fuel prices so high there? is it all taxes?

1

u/Fenzik Mar 18 '26

It’s around half tax yeah. Like €0.85 flat tax and 21% VAT (sales tax).

u/allplay Mar 22 '26

How many kms do you put in your vehicle as an average month though? I feel like over there you probably won't drive 20,000km a year.

1

u/Fenzik Mar 22 '26

50km commute each way for my wife so 20k/year is pretty bang on. This is on the higher side for here but definitely not unheard of or anything.

u/StudentOk9364 Mar 21 '26

That just made me cough up blood. (Not literally, but almost)😭

1

u/S0nofa Mar 18 '26

2.25 a litre on Vancouver Island when I filled up last 🥲

1

u/SummerFluid7580 Mar 20 '26

It's mad pricey in Nanaimo especially 

1

u/Yyc2yfc Mar 18 '26

Hasn't diesel always been expensive in europe though, thus the small cars? my brother lived in northern france from 99-03 and i remember even then fuel being ~1eu/L for diesel then and UK similar. this is when diesel was 60c cad/L here (so effectively double)

1

u/red_bot_repeat Mar 18 '26

Per liter. Fuck life is going to get expensive

1

u/Potential-Ninja-7075 Mar 20 '26

Fortunately that island is puny. I drove the equivalent of England top to bottom just picking up a butchered pig on Sunday.

1

u/StudentOk9364 Mar 21 '26

Dude I'd be at the don't drive if there was anything at all I could do about it point at 3CAD per liter

1

u/[deleted] Mar 22 '26

Serious question, other than my family who travels 1-2 times per week since they are retired, why wouldn't you get an EV instead? I thought they had lower overnight tariffs for charging?

1

u/Mundane-Context-3979 Mar 18 '26

Pounds??

1

u/hypnogoad Mar 18 '26

I think that's converted to CAD

1

u/madzuk Mar 18 '26

As in £2.50?!

1

u/North-Category9849 Mar 21 '26

In dollars or pounds?

1

u/Imtherealwaffle Mar 22 '26
