Tabonga | 2,364 Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 What are prices in your neck of the woods - I just filled up at $3.79 a gallon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloves | 11,891 Administrator · Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 I don't drive so it's not generally top of mind. Did a quick search online and it's $1.85/L, which is apparently around $0.25 increase over the last week. It's apparently so expensive that people are switching to public transit.

Tabonga | 2,364 Posted March 9, 2022 Author Share Posted March 9, 2022 I don't follow it closely since I only fill up about every three weeks. But I have noticed it rising over the last couple of weeks as I drive around. Heh - I remember in high school it was around $.15. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but high school for you, you could well be referring to a horse and carriage! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki | 4,958 Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 4.25 yesterday just around a 1/4mi from here in either direction. It was 4 a couple days before that. A little perspective. When Biden started in January around here the average in town was around 2.35/gal. A year later it went up to 3.10/gal on average due to the energy policies closing down that crude independence we had, and then we were at 3.30 2 weeks ago, and now it's 4.25. Rather disgusting when you think about it. Almost a $2/gal price increase on the whole, but Putin bs aside, it still was up a dollar already but fairly consistent there too to be fair.

Glad someone here speaks normally. This is around what it is here too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH | 5,013 Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 $3.75 this weekend when my wife and I made a trip to Charlotte, NC. Well, that's what we bought but gas prices were all over the place. I think the highest I saw was $3.85, but I'm sure it's higher now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICrappedMyPants | 302 Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 We’re up to $4.59 here. I’m starting to second guess buying the Honda minivan vs the hybrid Toyota. I’m just glad I bought before the supply shortage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeatherRebel5150 | 1,065 Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 $4.50ish if using credit, $4.25ish for cash. Thinking seriously about getting a motorcycle again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NZCollector | 107 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 It's over 3 bucks a LITRE here now. It'd pretty much be 10 dollars for a gallon if we used that measurement here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RegularGuyGamer | 2,021 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 4.60 around here. The cost to commute has doubled since I got hired 4 years ago. Both my cars can get about 30-35mpg on the commute but damn is it hurtin the wallet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the end result of this is less parking lots full over oversized trucks just to get a loaf of bread I'm all for it. $4.55 here in central Illinois. Still way less than I paid in Canada and every where else in the western world. $5 though and the town burns! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,958 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I'm using a decade old civic, if it gets to fumes I put 11gallons in so I mean I was like doing 22-25 a tank, now I'm over 40 and that is infuriating. Thankfully the old pig edge melted down over a year ago that would be hell, the new outback on that is 50% larger tank than mine but it sips fuel compared thankfully. Problem is large parts of the US, some specific metro areas aside due to well done buses but usually rail, you don't need a car. But a lot of places, here too, you do, and it's a bitch an utter life sucking drain because of clown policies and that presintator putin pulling his bs for a 1-2 punch and it sucks.

FireHazard51 | 2,062 Social Team · Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Higher gas prices means fracking will come back which means a massive oversupply in Natural Gas will happen. The best part, new interest in electric vehicles and government tax incentives to go with a greener vehicle. I'm all for electric cars but the price needs to come down so that middle income Americans can afford it. I'm super excited to see new competition in the all electric vehicle market. Fight as much as you want, it IS the future of personal private transportation. Electric charging stations are about to be built like crazy from the Transportation Bill. Reasons to not get an electric car will continue to drop. But before anyone get's on my ass I know electric isn't for everyone. It is for the majority of the public (at least in the near future) which is a good thing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I will say if you want to make it more viable even more quickly, there needs to be developed a quick-change battery solution. Just like you can change out your grills propane tank. I should be able to pull up to a Spiffy Lube, they yank the pack out from under the car, slap a charged one up in there and away I go. The fact I cant drive non stop for however long I decide is a problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are months of classes required to safely disconnect and reconnect, not to mention jiffylube doesnt have the physical space or infrastructure for multiple 1000lb batteries. Battery storage is heavily regulated due to explosion danger. The most likely solution is much more charging centers, which I love because it keeps us electricians busy. Tesla already has quick charging stations popping up every 25-50 miles off main highways here in norcal. One is 100% solar powered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
