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

The 7th-11th son of the 7th-11th son.
I call BS - I have never seen gas prices (in the US) that don't end in a "9".
there's a snopes on it for some reason, was just on the sign to promote the store's opening
It's allowed if all the digits add up to 9.
I've seen all the other numbers for the least significant digit up here in Canada.
Though $7.11 per L would be crazy.
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.
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.
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
Your mistake was pricing in liters and not gallons ;)

Sweet, is this when the dinosaurs come back to life and get revenge on us for using oil?
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.
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
When they were building the station near us this was what they put on the sign until they opened.
This prophecy sucks, what else ya got?
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.
What have you done!? You can't just speak the deep truths like that!
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.
