You want a “Truth”? Here’s a truth… I paid 96 dollars to fill my pickup yesterday. That was with the cheapest gasoline, not premium.

Awww...poor baby.

Your gas bill is more important than the safety of the world.

What an absolutely small minded selfish dipshit comment.

Good grief. SMH

You might need a lesson on instant gratification........

Instant gratification is the desire for immediate satisfaction or pleasure without delay, often leading to impulsive behaviors and short-term rewards at the expense of long-term benefits.

Take out the Iranian refineries, Ukrainian style.

That would eliminate domestic revenue, forcing Iran to have to export more oil. China would be happy with that.

Also, persons in a car after a month or so would probably be connected, making them easily identified targets.

Große Schadenfreude

Ha every EV owner is laughing our a&$es off at you guys.

It cost the equivalent to 67 cents per gallon to “fill” my Tesla 3, and the Model Y ranges from 250-300 watt hours per mile. Texas ERCOT power is 9 cents per kWh.

That means it’s also equivalent to 67 cents per gallon in a 28mpg vehicle or 80 cents per gallon at 320 wh/mile again against a 28 mpg ICE vehicle which the Model Y is not competing against it competes with the Ford Expedition that struggles to get 18mpg to hit 2.88 cents per mile in energy cost gasoline would need to be 52 cents per gallon in 2026 dollars at that.

Yeah we laughing hard at you guys.

Enjoy the suck as we zip by at pennies per gallon fuel costs. Oh and my model 3 was $20,000 less new than the Volvo it replaces more laughing to the bank.

It’s just gravy that my solar panels charge both essentially for free since they paid for themselves in power sales years ago it’s the lost power sales cost not retail energy cost to fill up the Teslas. When curtailment is called for it literally is free to charge or if the wholesale rate goes negative we get paid to take energy off the grid and I am getting paid to charge that is the Bee’s knees getting paid to fill my Teslas is winning so hard.

Enjoy the $100 fillups coming luddites deserve to get it good and hard as H.L.Mencken would be saying right now.

Ninety percent of pickup trucks I see on the road are driven by punk kids overcompensating, hauling nothing but air with the truck bed clean enough to dine off of.

I have one myself but it is driven only when I have the need to transport anything that won’t fit in an SUV or is dirty or whatever. Like large dogs or bicycles etc.

Or yard waste tree limbs etc to the dump. Or making a large purchase. Then I have to watch as all the air-haulers impatiently floor their vehicles to pull out pass me and cut me off after they tailgated me for two miles while I’m doing the speed limit with a full load in the right lane.

I think it embarrasses them when they see a pickup that’s actually being used for its intended purpose.

Air-hauling is a very expensive hobby.

If you’re not one of these, God bless you.

YMMV.
