The gas prices out here are bonkers. I changed my commute to VTA light rail + Caltrain and a lot of walking just to avoid filling up so much. Definitively makes the commute worse compared to driving, public transit is messy and inefficient here, but gas prices are close to double what they were pre-war (at cheap stations like Rotten Robbie at least).

That’s still insanely cheap, went to get actual petrol for the first time in 3 years and it’s about £1.60/l in Scotland.
