I literally told my husband the way gas prices are going, soon weโll have to buy a horse and carriage and convert into Amish. ๐ญ

Fun fact: early motivation to switch from horses to cars wasn't performance or cost (at the time of the switch horses were still better) it was pollution (both noise, and physical).
It's part of why cities switched so much faster than rural areas too, not just a wealth inequality thing.

I've seen this meme deployed in the wild twice today completely divorced from you, you made a cultural artifact with this one

Thatโs the station near LAX where people go โoh shit, I forgot to put gas in the rental carโ as theyโre about to return it.

Those "last minute" stations are THE WORST.
There's one near the Orlando airport that regularly charges $2-$3 MORE per gallon than ones a little farther away.

Lots of locals have clocked that this is the notoriously much higher priced gas station on (sigh) Cesar Chavez Blvd near DTLA. Supposedly the prices are $1-2 higher than other places in southern California bc govt vehicles get filled there on official cards so no one gives a shit abt overcharging

It is perhaps a little callous to look at the consequence of an unsanctioned war and choosing to gloat about cycling. The cost of fuel going up will negatively affect every aspect of all of our lives, both in and outside of America, not just the price of fuel for personal vehicles.

I have a V8 powered project car. My Chevy van for cargo has a 6L V8 and a supercharger. I have an eyes open relationship with cars.
My timeline for an electric car is basically now.
I hope gas hits $20/gallon. The US needs to convert 90% of the ethanol subsidies to solar.

Thatโs because this talking point is perfect for centrist liberals. Pretending the issue is people not owning electric cars allows them to not condemn Israeli/American foreign policy and their war crimes. Ormuz controls the flow of fertilizers that are needed to feed the world. Death to the IDF

Still hoping that the crisis will stop and humanity will down the lobby after this, to move on to affordable electric mobility

I'm hoping my old V8 land yacht lasts me the rest of my life, because I'll have no car rather than an EV.

sorry but Americans drive crazy and there aren't bike lanes everywhere in my town. I'd rather walk.

part of it is because they can charge that much. Gas refined in California to meet the local requirements is also used in the surrounding states but the price magically drops 75ยข as soon as you cross the border.

No pipelines from the golf. More strict rules on pollution so higher quality fuel is required and that costs more. Near San Francisco Airport it is just below 6 dollars per gallon.
Still cheaper than Europe.
