My 2006 Rav4 used to hold $35.00 in gas but now it holds $52.00 in gas!

    Meanwhile in the Netherlands I filled up my Hyundai Tucson for € 98.00 just yesterday. It wasn’t even empty.

    Last time has was this expensive I joked at the pump “Wow, I’ve never fit $60 in the tank before” and some lady on the other side actually bit and told me “It’s because the gas is so expensive sweetheart”

    My wife was laughing really hard

    I used to be dismayed that fast charging the electric car ended up being about as expensive as filling the tank with gas (price per mile), because damnit electricity should be cheaper than gas, and I was having to wait “at the pump” for longer periods of time. But it still made up for it because outside of road trips I never had to use the fast chargers.

    Now it’s work the wait, because even 60 cents per kilowatt (which is still so much bullshit) I go so much further per dollar than 6 dollars a gallon gas.

      Ouch! I pay 9 cents a kilowatt on my electrickery bill. 60 cents sounds like a total rip off. Is that normal price or is that what they charge at the stations?

        Depends on the area, time of day and vehicle. Tesla chargers have a non Tesla rate (0.72/kWh) vs Tesla rate (.48/kWh).

    With a few more months of Trump, your car will be upgraded even further to a beautiful paperweight, the most beautiful one the world has ever seen.

    I know it’s hard to believe, but there are more upgrades in store. I don’t know how they manage to put all that in the same place.
