[Tell It Right]

Democrats in the U.S. are jealous of the U.K.’s gas prices.

[rktman]

Hey, we’re working on getting there.

That’s Brandon’s plan.
Penalize petroleum, subsidize electric.
I don’t drive that much but I’m nervous about my future heating costs.

"I don’t drive that much but I’m nervous about my future heating costs."

Ditto and cooling.

[palmer]

I drive 45k miles a year. OTOH I heat with wood, and cut my own or get it cheap.

[nascarnation]

The difficult part for vehicle mfgrs is if Trump is back in as POTUS in 2025, it’s all gonna change again.
Very difficult to product plan with a 3 year plus lead time.

[Paladin2]

$273.6 for a 36 gal. tank

Let’s Go Brandon!

That’s part of the car manufacturers pushing EV’s. The CAFE standards are for the averages of all cars sold. If half of your cars are EV’s and half of your cars get 20 mpg, you’ve reached the 40 mpg average requirement.

[SaxxonWoods]

Not been to the UK but I was paying $7 a gallon equivalent in Italy 10 years ago. All their rental cars got 40 mpg so it didn’t matter. Italians are fun, they either are at full throttle or locked brakes all the time.

You dirty climate polluter. You need a carbon tax./S

[SaxxonWoods]

“Penalize petroleum, subsidize electric.”

And by doing so they have forced car manufacturers into building and lauding EVs to comply with the ever-tightening Enviro-regs and stay in business.

A Public-Private partnership to destroy choice by the citizenry.

For the children.

I bet he uses a chainsaw just to make the trees scream.

[laplata]

Probably. And puts something in the chainsaw gas to make it smoke.

[DoughtyOne]

Got that right.

[DoughtyOne]

It’s it on the verge of price fixing to manipulate the markets
to drive prices up?

That’s the goal of Biden, no doubt. Isn’t that illegal?

[momincombatboots]

Do they pay in Liters? I git to germany soon after the conversion.. the wise were not amused.

[frank ballenger]

Then they go into the convenience store and shell out a similar high amount for a styrofoam cup of tea, some jammie dodgers and digestives.*

*A rock history book about Eric Clapton said “If only we could have been in on that disagreement in the recording producer’s office when they took a break for tea and digestives.”
I have had digestives a few times but they’re fattening. Drizzled caramel or chocolate over a sugary cookie. Delicious.

Maybe I’ll go get some now. A local store sells them in MI.

[Organic Panic]

We hit $5 a gallon where I am yesterday. Was $2.30 when the chomo was installed.
