$$$ FUEL UP $$$

[AXE]

Alright here's a little humor with fuel prices at all time highs. I think he checked all the stereo typical boxes just right.....LOL.

I know that some on this forum drive a full size, 4WD pickup because they need to whether that be work or pleasure activities (I have one to pull a bassboat and a full size truck does it best). I think some drive these vehicles for "image" - and if this is a daily driver that image is getting a bit expensive. 4 years ago we bought our first EV and now have our second - a Porsche Macan EV. The Macan EV has a 100 kW battery. In town that vehicle can easily go 350 miles on that 100 kW battery due to regeneration on braking. I can "fill" the vehicle in my garage as needed overnight on 240v circuit at an electricity price of $0.05 per kW. So, the summary is we can go 350 miles as a daily driver for an energy cost of $5.00. Consider that and compare that to daily driver cost of an ICE vehicle. You want performance? Try accelerating in an EV. I know the downfalls also - access to charging when traveling, reduced range in winter, etc. Still - for some perhaps it's time to open your mind to alternate possibilities.

I don't really have a dog in the hunt because I live so rural, EV is just not practical. However, this is what it looks like around chargers when I'm in town. It's just better parking for big diesels.

Yippee!!! Diesel jumped 0.40 yesterday, now 4.98.

Diesel up a here, premium down a little here. I know everyone thinks this will self correct now with this phony cease fire. But it won't likely stick and even if it does gas/fuel prices will be persistently high until at least end of summer. It's gonna take a long time to fix all the shit that was destroyed.
