Both are perfectly readable to me, Perhaps that other user had some issue that showed him a low-res version. Federation isn't perfect.

It is sorta funny watching Americans pay gas prices that many parts of the world actually already paid.

What's ironic is that for most of America they're paying those amounts on top of government subsidies

We're going to need a reverse Jurassic Park...
Man brings back dinosaur, dinosaur wakes up working on an oil farm, dinos find out they are the oil, dinos help other dinos escape, dinosaur use man's machine to get thumbs. Dinosaurs take back the world.

Germans would still kill for this price. 7.11 USD/gallon is something like 1.60 EUR/liter. We’re currently way above 2 EUR/liter.

And there's the plucky comic relief best friend dino, he put one of his thumbs on backwards (haha) so it always looks like he thumbs-down good ideas.

In the climax our hero makes a big decision. Looks to the plucky best friend. The best friend locks eyes. Moves his dino arm up and -
Gives a thumbs-up

We have poor public transit and on average longer commutes. That makes it hurt the average person a lot more

I've seen all the other numbers for the least significant digit up here in Canada.

Though $7.11 per L would be crazy.

Don't forget the absurdly big and fuel-hungry cars.

That's mostly fueled by cheap fuel (heh) .

Toyota really started to take off in the 70s when oil got bit more expensive.

The sign says 7 eleven so I am going to gamble on it being there.

Damn, if my maths is right it would be 2.59/l aud, my closest station atm is at 1.80/l and hit a high of 2.30/l

When the slow moon passes the lion's third claw,
And the basin of Venus is drained of its tear,
The great vessel of men shall split without war,
Not by fire, but by silence, shall vanish their fear.

Counterpoint - the US is killing for this price. We've been at war in the middle east the vast majority of my lifetime, in no small part driven by wanting to control access to and profits from oil.

Reminded of I Am Legend's premiere, where $6.87 gas got a nervous laugh from the audience.

And then years later we actually hit that price through normal economic trends, and chuds blamed Biden like it was his fault.

And now those same chuds refuse to blame The Idiot for surpassing that price as unambiguous consequences of his warmongering.

I would have preferred the zombies. Even if they do that late-2000s CGI stretchy jaw thing.

Oh don't worry, humans are too stupid to understand what that means anyway. People will just ascribe it to Nostradamus or aliens and then make shit up about what it means.

Your mistake was pricing in liters and not gallons ;)
