  I filled up a family members Rav4 the other day. It was $96.

  Not exactly the best car, but hardly a gas guzzler. Or maybe it is, idk. I normally drive electric.

      we’ve been going backwards on fuel efficiency. the little compact i had back in the early 90s got over 40mpg.

        Because we discovered that running the engine lean and hot for maximum efficiency creates NOx and we don’t like acid rain.

        Greenpeace modified a Renault Twingo with off-the-shelf parts in 1996 so it could get 68mpg.

        The display say 17.624 gallons. That is a full size SUV or truck.

      Yeah I mean at these prices even a lawn mower might cost $10 to fill

        I follow a lot of lawn care YouTubers

        More than a few commenting about raising prices and canceling contracts of customers not willing to pay enough to cover it

        Its not an insignificant difference either, like +$40 on a weekly cut for a quarter acre lot. That’s between a 35-50% price increase depending on the market of the people I’m watching

        The trucks to get there being the big portion of that increase not the mowers, but certainly the mower/trimmer/blower opex increased as well

        Regardless though anyone not running primary electric rigs are definitely hurting right now

        Those who invested into it early, and especially those who got State and Govt incentives, before the current administration shut them down have a massive opportunity to cash in over at least the next ~2 years while this settles, keeping their prices just below whatever their competitors have to charge until their routes are fully booked while those running gas are forced to raise prices and renegociate contracts to maintain profits

  Could be a labourer. I didn’t see much point in trucks and such before but now it makes sense for some to have them.

  17 gallons is 64 liters, that’s a midsize sedan tank.

    Yeah you should not drive a tank either.
