In Pennsylvania, you could only buy beer and liquor in what was called the State Store. You still cannot purchase liquor in the supermarkets, but you can now purchase beer and wine in supermarkets.

[@DroneStrike1776]

In RI, it's privately owned but the licenses are limited. You can't open a new liquor store, it has to be a previous licensed business. You can only buy it from anyone who is willing to sell their business. It's why it could cost millions just to get someone to sell.

[@unconventionalideas5683]

Beer in the US used to be manufactured in industrial breweries and sold quite cheaply. As American Consumers decided that beer was increasingly to be an occasional splurge, they moved more towards craft breweries and independent local breweries which charged higher prices but sold a higher quality product in terms of flavor and grain input.

Gas is way more expensive in California than almost anywhere else in the US. It's about $4.55/gal. in the San Diego area today. Even so, it would still seem cheap to someone from the UK, Europe, or even Canada, because their taxes are even higher than ours.

California has its own blend of gas. It's actually different than the other states.

[@bill.godwin-austen]

@@garycamara9955 That's definitely a factor (including that they have both special "summer" and "winter" blends...), but the biggest part of the high price is the ridiculous amount of taxes that California charges on gas. They make far more profit on it than the oil company does.

I think they moved to Canada from the UK, and then after several years in Canada they decided to take their family on a USA roadtrip.

Beesleys, they forgot to mention that it's crawlin' with 'gringos'.😀 The difficult thing about establishing the gas price is that 2 conversions are necessary; first is that the Canadian gallon is 4 liters as opposed to 4 pints in the US. Second is the currency conversion rate. Gas is definitely cheaper outside of major cities, but it also varies from state to state. For instance, here in IL the price is higher. So, I don't gas up until I cross into the nearest state, if I'm driving outside of IL Re. getting stared at for wearing shorts in 'cold' weather, the opposite happens when they're used to the hot, humid weather, and we're dying. You may already know that Walmart is sometimes jokingly called Wallyworld. Re. the flags, they must have been here during a holiday time, because normally there aren't that many flags even here.
