$4.99 listed at the pump @ Kroger in central KY.

Filled up at $3.99 with our points and we’re not thrilled. Wife has been a WFH employee for 20 years. Next week is the time her company chooses to have a 2 day in-office meeting?!?!

Our Sienna wheelchair rampvan is horribad on mileage.
 
$5.26 here in SE MI now. Can't wait for a hurricane to knock a refinery or two offline. For all the people complaining it's still not high enough to stop people from idling their cars while parked. Went to the bar last night and saw a charger, f150 and an SUV just sitting there running for quite awhile

Why is this limited to EVs? We've had cheap hybrids with good MPG (40s and 50s) for quite a while. People just decided not to buy them because gas was cheap and that would not change of course lol.

I bought my Camry hybrid used 7 years ago for $16k with 23k miles on it. While I don't reach 40mpg too often it's still upper 30s form lifetime average

I'd like to get an EV but I drive like 3500 miles a year now and my car only has 88,000 miles on it which is basically just broken in for a Toyota.

Toyota makes a good hybrid. We try to snag Corolla hybrids when we rent and it's amazing how little fuel they burn.

I'm probably going to switch to a BEV once we move into a city again.
 
Connecticut statewide average price per gallon @ $4.98 for regular.

Apparently NY and NJ are both now over $5 ... again average state-wide.

The former ambassador is an idiot. I've seen the take making the rounds on Twitter. I'd love to live in a community where you can walk or bike to places (without fear of getting smushed into a pancake). Or growing up, not having to rely on parents to taxi you around because you live in some suburban hellhole.

Quite a bit less even though I get very good gas-mileage.

Unfortunately although the local bus-lines are free at the moment the schedule/routes are far from ideal for stuff like errands or even grocery-shopping. Insanely even getting to the RR station is a pain in the a$$ involving a transfer to a shuttle making an Uber very tempting at zero dark-thirty!

And riding a bicycle in most of New Haven is a suicide-mission. 😳

Yes, she is quite fun, the same way Trump is.

There's your answer.
"Sands, who was appointed by former president Donald Trump and served as ambassador from 2017-2021,"

I never really drove a lot to begin with but I definitely plan my drives out more now. If I can avoid driving I do. I pretty much only gas up like once a month and it's about half a tank maybe a bit more. So say, $100-$150ish per month in gas is probably what I'm spending.

LoL I am at 60L a week. And I am just putzing around town.
 
Helps that I have not went to my off grid property yet as that is far and like at least 2 weeks worth of driving in 1 day. I've fallen behind schedule on that so might actually hire out the land clearing, and with price of gas if that saves me a bunch of trips there it might be worth it, pros with the right equipment will have it done in under a day vs me working at it all summer.

Got a foot related illness that has limited my mobility so kind of in a limbo right now otherwise I would have went by now. I hope it's something that can get better. I think it will need surgery but they just gave me orthotics which I doubt will do much, since it's not like I'm on my feet or in shoes all day.
