That's true and it's strange that Stovepipe Wells dropped to 6.39 and Furnace creek went up to 8.99/ galIt’s funny in that Stovepipe Wells is the more isolated of the two.
Hopefully you don't park your ICE vehicle in your garage then because they appear more likely than an EV to catch fire
A new study has some surprising findings on car fires
A new analysis from an auto insurance company compared rates of fires among EVs, combustion-engine cars, and hybrids. These are the results.www.popsci.com
I mean that's definitely an approach people take. Even here where it means they have to regularly scrape ice off their cars to use them or, more realistically, let them idle for 20min to warm up.What utter nonsense...why would I park my $70,000 pickup in my garage? I use it to store about $5,000 worth of "stuff" I only see on the rare occasion when I have to find something.
Park in a garage...what a stupid idea. Garages are for "stuff," not vehicles.
(besides, my truck is about 2.5' too long to fit in my garage.)
That's not true anymore. Our gov raised the gas tax, and now the price is in the middle of the pack. Prove me wrong if you can.Since I'm in NJ with it's refineries in Cancer Alley, we probably have some of the lowest prices outside of maybe TX. But I'm curious about something. Wawa and especially Costco seem to undercut normal retail sellers by a significant amount. Is that also true in other areas?
$4.21 for Mobil regular unleaded up the street from me earlier today .... still high but heading in the right direction.
Sucks paying more but I'm actually okay with gas staying on the high side to discourage pollution.... of course I drive a small economical car so I can afford to feel that way!
Hey...me too!
Nice ride!
(what's that bad-boy cost to fill up these days?)
I don't really understand the attraction people experience for big trucks and SUVs. Of course I understand that in many, maybe even most cases folks do actually "need" such things but the 5'2" chica who can barely see over the steering wheel? I suspect in more cases than not the reasons are psychologic rather than practical.
What I sort of enjoyed back when gas prices were more volatile was seeing people with such vehicles bitch about prices, trade in their behemoths for something smaller and then go back out and rinse, repeat.
Now please understand, I think peeps should be able to buy what they want, at least short of say, rocket launchers. My god, I am really skewing libertarian in my old age. I might not mind seeing something like a gas guzzler tax come back though so maybe we can get our collective crusty asses moving on anthropomorphic climate change. But that would be the only reason and only for peeps that don't have a real need like work or big families with lots of football or lacrosse equipment.
And I'm pretty sure that in spite of the global-warming-is-a-myth luddites, most rational people understand this shit is for real. Even moma earth is breaking out in permafrost methane leaks, which despite that gas only surviving about 12 years in atmosphere as opposed the hundreds of years for CO2, it is so much more dangerous - especially as those "leaks" become perpetual fountains of methane.
But aside from the shitty economics involved in harvesting and liquifying it, I can definitely see the time coming when we instead exploit those reserves. And if you think Russia is a major producer now, outside of Alaska, they are probably sitting on top of even more massive methane reserves. So sure, we can try to go renewalables but you've still got a growing world population and don't try to convince Sudan or Bangladesh to spend several times the cost of LNG to buy wind or solar farms.
36 gallon tank...I bring my own K-Y to the gas station...
You are a Marine I know that you don't need any lube...
$4.24 today. Shit needs to get fixed...... $90 dollar fill up.
