    Today I looked up a list of current gas prices in Europe. While most countries were over EUR 2 per litre, Russia was EUR 0.8 something per litre, having the cheapest gas in Europe. It could be that official prices are being kept artificially low by the evil scheming regime while the black market flourishes, it could be the numbers were outdated, it could be the source was simply lying — or it could be that Russia is an oil producing country with an abundance of fossil fuels for the domestic market.

      have those prices risen a little bit recently? i could have sworn it was way lower at one point. by comparison, that’s a bit more than $3 per gallon, which is low but not unreasonably low by US standards. obviously nothing about this discounts your comment or makes the OP any less ai-hallucinated but europe always had expensive gas anyway.
