What is your point in bringing this up? This is why what you are doing is silly. Quote

I made my point to User, but as usual you're compelled to talk so that you can hear yourself... I never said China had a good environmental record, did I...? I said China is still a developing country that relies on conventional energy, but also leads the world in clean energy investment. What don't you understand about that? Quote

Hey User.... just listening to the demented orange guy talk and he's saying that you're actually doing pretty good with the price of gas, because he thought oil would go over $200 bbl. This is awesome! Hopefully the message gets to every country and industry sector on the planet that is getting hammered so they'll realize it could have been a lot worse if not for Trump. The guy is freaking brilliant... just ask him. Seriously.... you voted for that idi0t? Edited April 23 by LinkSoul60 Quote

Can you ask a more intelligent question, not based on your loading it like this? I fill up when I need to. Gas prices are what they are, and I am going to need to fill up again regardless. I play the long game. I value strategic thinking and can see the end goal and the average overall price in the long run. Quote

herbie Posted April 24 Author Report Posted April 24 (edited) Good God, this is the 3rd time since I got my DL that the Middle East caused a gas crisis. And the resident suckhole refuses to see that Donnie Diapersniper is 100% to blame for this one! So the guys all spewed the expected lines on me, PHEVs are too complicated, cars are all shit these days, I'm too old to ever justify buying a brand new car, I don't drive enough to ever save anything driving an electrified vehicle, it will never be a collectible, etc etc etc. The women say yeah you're old and you'll be dead before that money invested will amount ot anything meaningful, you like it, you want it, go back when the Credit Union can cut you a bank draft. You deserve it. I like their advice best.... Trade in that bouncy, jiggly, crap radio and heater wind noise generator of a Wrangler.... Edited April 24 by herbie Quote

Zero issues so far and putting gas in the tank once a month is nice too. Still wanted ICE for the longer hauls we may do, so mine or my wife's vehicle for that. Her next vehicle will be EV for sure. Not surprisingly, the PHEV is not complicated at all... Quote

I don’t like inflation at all, but some is baked into the cake no matter what. So what specific inflation are you talking about here? No, once again, Iran is the one who threatened the Strait and brought global commerce going through there to a halt. Quote

Last months ~3.3% CPI inflation and the impact the price of oil has across the board. Fertilizer that has stopped going through the strait will cause even further food price hikes because of that short supply and smaller crop yields. Oil and gas pricing will be high through the year, and that 3.3% may be the normal. Yes Iran is threatening the strait, because Trump started the war. Quote

She had 2 highschoolers, works in the school office and lives on the other side of the lake. I used to live out there and in there in the laye 1990s was shelling out $400 q month for my F150 going to work, running back for groceries, taking the kids to scouts, guides, cadet, chairing meetings etc. They plug their Outlander in overnight and that's it. He actually told here to go shopping out of town, save a few bucks on the groceries and use up some gas before it went stale! They've also taken the whole family on runs to Vancouver, Kamloops, Calgary etc. It's far bigger than I need and 10K more than the Kia I was offered, just me and the mutt rarely anyone else.

I/we have the dog, occassional grandkids and my golf clubs so a good size for me. Not a lot of driving so between the plug in and regenerative charging it's way too convenient, and way cheaper on gas. Point being, you won't go wrong with either an EV or PHEV. Quote
herbie Posted April 24 Author Report Posted April 24 Anyone with a some or townhouse is actually foolish not to consider a PHEV or BEV. The only legit reason not to is you can't afford the extra $$. All others are excuses a decade out of date. As I just heard all those reasons from a 30 year old that I had to install a $4000 gaming graphics card who showed me hid $145,000 RAM truck he needs to drive to work in.

The number of town houses are now banning the parking and charging of EVS inside their carports. The risk of fire is too great, and they've received enough information about this that some have actually gotten insurance discounts for this policy Very few are allowing the installation of chargers. So once again you demonstrate you have no freaking idea what you're talking about Quote "That which doesn't kill me... Had better start running."
herbie Posted April 25 Author Report Posted April 25 So don't buy one pf those. Who the hell would buy a home with no parking or no outdoor plug for a weed whacker? You're acting like the few that aren't the market define the whole market. Like as if most people have one car so there's no market of second car buyers. Quote

Typical leftist... you think you know what is best for everyone else and they are all dumb for not doing what you think they should be doing. Next step is to mandate they do it and force them. Quote
herbie Posted April 25 Author Report Posted April 25 Typical rsponse from someone who can't tell the difference between a concrete cubicle and a home. Obviously totally unable to give any advice whatsoever regarding gas prices or ways to save on them. Quote
