Gas prices

[Ashton1911]

And for what it is worth, Fox news has a lovely article explaining how electricity also costs money.

Filling a gas-powered vehicle can still be cheaper than charging an electric one

Charging an electric car at a public charging station can cost as much or more than filling one with gasoline in some cases.

best option seems to be ignoring the alphabet bois, and letting us frack and pump around the country without federal intervention.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the subsequent sanctions on Moscow are stoking fears of a potential supply shock that could compare with the 1973 Arab Oil Embargo

There’s still almost 3 years of this s**t left so they can force us all into EV’s, or so they think.

I’ve noticed television is getting pounded with electric vehicle commercials all over the place and frequently. They make it sound so cool and dreamy to drive. Not to mention most of them look pretty funky . And I’ve noticed nearly every model has all this color changing LED glow panels in interior (wasting precious battery power). The dashboards are just leather coated panels with iPads stuck in them.

I don’t think it’s gonna work the way they want it to. EV is just not there for commercial and heavy equipment, so we’ll need gas to power those for a long time to come.

Im never buying a vehicle in which the manufacturer can just give and take options on a whim with a software update.

Im also never buying a vehicle with a screen for an instrument cluster. Screens break. Screens are disposable. You need the instruments to run the car. So then the whole car is disposable. I don’t mind a screen in the middle but no screen for the gauges. I have no desire to drive a phone with wheels.

AND trying to switch us to "green" tech before the market is ready.
Let's not forget that.

Best thing I`ve EVER heard said, and it has FINALLY been said; how is it bad to drill and pump here, but good to drill and pump "over there". Utter nonsense.

I think they all pretty much can do things to your car remotely…

Funny one of my lefty friends responded to my “I did that” Facebook post about gas prices that people should use alternative fuel electric vehicles. Another friend called out his hypocrisy for buying a full size pickup a couple months ago. Then lefty came up with all the excuses why he could not get an EV but everyone else should.

We are all friends so the discussion was civil and we agreed to disagree.

Traded my truck in on a Chevy spark the other day, bare bones manual variety.

Was in the process of finding a new truck when this nonsense started so I decided I could live without a truck for a year. Was going to buy a crap Honda or something anyway to commute in. This way I have my “beater with a heater” only it’s a nicer car that’s been taken care of and has a warranty. Gas prices stay around where they are and I make a truck sized payment on this itty bitty car and it’s paid for in one year.

Then I will go get another truck and use the spark to commute in so I’m not wearing a 50k dollar truck out in 5 years. I commute 75 miles round trip every day around 465.

When those first came out, I tried to get in the driver's seat... I tried.
I couldn't even get my right leg in under the steering wheel.

Be truthful now, do you really want us to believe it was your right leg?

Wonder what Elon Musk has to say about the dems using EV's as a political tool to cover their bad actions?

Elon Musk Just Used 14 Words to Teach a Major Lesson in Leadership

It was the perfect moment to highlight the benefits of electric cars. Musk did the opposite.

Meh...
I always take this guy with a pinch of salt.
He has made a bundle from taxpayer subsidization.

It's funny how gas prices tracked right along with oil barrel pricing as the value went up.

Yet now that it's $20 less per barrel, no one is lowering their prices to reflect it, lol.

No one and in a little more than 7 months from now there will be enough numbskulls in this State to re-elect her.
