This has been a thing in NorCal with gas prices getting above $5/gallon.

If attending Mass, the ordinary form as celebrated everyday around the world be sinful, then the Church no longer exists. Period.
Rather, if the NOM were the lex credendi of the Church, then the Church would no longer exist. However, the true mass and the true sacraments still exist and will hold the candle of faith until Our Lord steps in to restore His Bride to her glory.
We could compare ourselves to the Catholics in England at the time of the Reformation. Was it sinful for them to attend Cranmer's service?
We have to remind ourselves that all the machinery of the "Church" continued in place. They had priests, bishops, churches, cathedrals. But all of them were using the new "Book of Common Prayer" instead of the Catholic Mass. Ordinary lay people could see with their own eyes an enormous entity that called itself the "Church," but did the true Church still exist in that situation? Meanwhile, in small hiding places in certain homes were a handful of true priests offering the true Mass at the risk of imprisonment, torture and death.

It's $5.79 in England.

That's insane. The UK has inflation too? I thought it was just a Trump/Biden thing in the USA.

If gas was $7.71/gallon in the USA there would be riots.

Google is wrong then.

Petrol is £1.48 per litre.  Multiply by 3.785 to convert litres to a US Gallon.  That equals £5.64

Now convert to dollars at today's spot rate equals.  $7.51 per US Gallon

Groggy should go to Moscow.
I don't need to because I drive an electric car and am quite happy with it. I would assume that Russia's gas prices are low because Russia is a typical sh*thole petro nation that subsidizes it to prevent the masses from being too angry with the government. It's a common thing for those types of countries.

Max. Look up those 2 links I sent. Is CNN wrong as well?
I quoted the London price in US$ so he could compare it to his price.

I think you mean 3.785 or 3.78541 if you want to be more accurate.  ;)

Luck you.
I believe California has got some shitholes. I can't remember the names though.
One of the reasons people are leaving I suppose.
