That it's so expensive.

Twenty years ago when these particular Lego were made it was like $1.25 to $1.50 per gallon.

It's missing the additional 9/10s of a cent though which is annoying in real life because you have to round up to get the real price.

They’re probably European prices, either in euros or even in pre-euro funny money.

Gotta pre euro money. As fuel pumps in Europe work in litres.

Oh it's a gas price sign. I thought it was supposed to be a clock or a timer.

Look where lego originates from.

Why the hell should I round up? Let me just cut up a penny to give them nine-tenths of it.

I misinterpreted what you meant by per gallon, here I was wishing for $1.50 for a gallon of Legos

It hit over $5/gal a while back where I live. Gotta love a good late-stage capitalist dystopian life. <3

EDIT: It's about $4.80/gal on average rn. Take me back to inflated LEGO gas prices, please. πŸ™ƒ

Cries in €2.15 per liter

Yeah, where I live it's been between 4.09 and 5.50 for awhile now.

Don't worry, that will be what people wish they could go back to before long.
