Gas is $6 a gallon in Maine?
RE: Gas is $6 a gallon in Maine?
I always laugh my fanny off when I see claims of incredible savings (or saving the environment from left wing wacktards). They never count the cost of electricity to charge the car, nor the fact that increased use of coal results from it. Nor do they include the increased upfront price of buying the vehicle compared to a equally equpped petrol powered car, nor the cost of replacing the batteries. I’ve not found anyone or anywhere that can give an actual total cost comparison.
Plus the hybrid vehicles look like they run on soy milk.
But, it’s a free market, while we can keep it. So my hats off to any that feel they can thump their chest because of their ‘superior’ purchase choice.
Ah, you did the math, too. And that doesn’t include the cost of electricity.
How much is gas in Cali? When we visited hybrid and electric cars got special parking spaces close to everything
“We’ve saved appx. $82,500 over this time - compared to. cars that get only 25 MPG
Gas is $6 a gallon in Maine?”
And it’s been that since the year 2000! He’s a smug Prius owner so he has a need to self congratulate himself.
If we assume that the average price of gas in the last 19 years was a more realistic 2 dollars a gallon, then what he saved is roughly $28000, or about $350/year per car. But how many more thousands of dollars did he pay for the Prius over a comparable gas only subcompact?
