At that exit Arco is $5.29 and Shell across from the Tesla charging station is $5.99 as far as I can tell.

Thanks. Looking it up or so says this website...Cali’s primary energy source is natural gas but this info is from 2021. Still a carbon based power source though which was my main point.

Most Progressives think electric comes from wall sockets ... just increase the number of wall sockets ... problem solved.

Could be worse I guess.
I don’t drive much anymore but a hundred gets me 400 miles which puts me inside California.

When the wind is right the stench from the Harris Ranch feed lot can be epic.

Maybe it would be better to bypass the middle man and put say a diesel engine directly in a car and truck.
Revolutionary!

We have enjoyed the food & lodging at Harris Ranch many times on our treks to the desert.

It’s a welcome oasis, relieving the monotony of the very long, narrow stretch of I-5.

Always eager to arrive there; a milestone about 40% of the way into the 2^9-mile road trip, and 60% of the way on the return drive.

Are we there yet?

Don’t even need GPS any more.  Just yell at the embedded robot.

Hey, Dyslexa!  Harrizz Rancho!  Far howzit?”

On Hold!, I while up it look.”

Never mind, we can track it on the odormeter.
