Approximate location, price and date?
Edit: report back in a week any change if you remember.
E2: went up 9¢ since I posted this morning. $3.19 now.
E3: $3.30 now. ~20¢ in a day, 50¢ in 4 days.
$3.19 per gallon. San Antonio, TX.
Like $0.13 per KWh at home, minus whatever the panels generate. Probably not going up since it’s all hydro anyway
At some point in the past I could fill my tank from near empty for around $20. Past year it’s been closer to $30. I had .3 gallons left in the tank and filled up for about $40 today. My car is a microcar. I can’t imagine how much filling a land barge would cost.
Free as usual, I siphon it out of public school buses in low socioeconomic areas like Ronald Regan intended
I tried that, but I froze my lips because the school buses nearby run on LPG.
Topped up diesel @ AU$1.69 / L last Tuesday. It is now AU$2.19 / L. This is in Sydney, Australia.
I’m at 1.7 €
im hoping for $10, fuck Cars. It’s not like this same shit hasn’t happened before and the same thing repeats, had decades to navigate the changes needed and just ignored it… Insanity
My dream? an 80% reduction in private cars, and the rise of e bikes and e scoots, medium density housing, and more tree cover; quieter, friendlier, less deadly cities, you know 15 minute cities.
had decades to navigate the changes needed and just ignored it… Insanity
it is insanity, but not for the lack of navigation; it was about preventing china from gaining economic leverage with affordable electric vehicles and scalable renewable technologies.
That makes no sense lmao
it makes perfect sense
It doesn’t. If it was really a concern it’d be better to beat them to the technology
yes, it would be better, but we didn’t because we lack the industrial capacity to provide both at scale and affordably so. so instead we just doubled down on fossil fuels and carved out legal corporate & governmental protections for harming people that we predict will get fucked over by climate change.
But that’s just handing China the advantage without a fight, it doesn’t slow them down at all. That’s why it makes no sense.
we slowed them down by using super high tariffs on electric vehicles and solar panels and it makes sense from a geopolitical perspective. the united states & europe uses its economic leverage to control the world and letting people buy chinese electric vehicles, solar panels, etc. would give the chinese this same type of leverage.
trump, biden, obama, both bushes, etc. consider china to be the enemy, so forcing people to stay dependent on fossil fuels instead of green energy is a way of making sure that the united states stays in control; the same is true for europe.
that’s also why we regime changed venezuela, libya, iran, etc. because they started selling oil using other currencies besides the american dollar and that would make the united states lose some of this leverage too.
We are dropping to a one car house. Our now single car is an EV, I scopt and take transit, and I can’t be more ready for when we don’t even need the one
Electric car and solar pannel. 🍿🍿🍿
That’s nice, what car?
Mitsubishi i-MiEV/Peugeot Ion/Citroen C0 (same car, different branding). This car is awesome. Cheap, can park anywhere, nervous at the start, and surprisingly spacious for its tiny size. I already carried wooden planks of 2.4m (7.8 ft) inside. Too bad it is not produced anymore 😢
I don’t need to compensate with RAM or Dodge truck. The Peugeot is spacious enough to fit my two huge balls inside it.
I’m shopping for an EV, the market is so anemic there’s essentially only 1 model from 1 brand that’s not a humongous child killer.
How about the Hyundai?
The ionic? It feels overly long. I’d much rather have a sporty hatchback.
Hyundai is about to release an ioniq 3, maybe it will be smaller
One can hope
This morning in Northern California: $4.89/gallon for regular at Costco, which is a good deal in my area, although you have to have a paid membership to get it.
India, ~100 INR/1.08 USD per litre (ie frozen), the government has refused to hike prices for now.
Oh, just the regular $11.50 or so.
That’s a guess though.
I saw 2,30 € per liter at my local gas station
and I just multiply by five for all the Usonians out there.It’ll likely hit somewhere between $25 to $100 by July.
NYC. $0. Walk and take transit. Sorry, I’m insufferable about this but it’s really nice.
I’m curious how energy costs affect public transit. Of course they have very good bargaining power and are well set up to augment energy prices.
To
GoogleDuckDuckGo!Fare changes usually are slower to change than gas prices for customers at the gas station. Bus fare in NYC is $3, and they can’t just change that day by day. (Unless our new mayor makes the buses free to ride!)
It might be more expensive as energy costs go up, but services aren’t supposed to be run at a profit. The value in a mass transit system is very high.
But there is probably an impact. Now I’m curious about how they decide the fares
They vote on it when they do the budget, MTA board decides.
Canada V3L. Transit is amazing, but only when it’s train-based.
I loved the MTA and PATH when I was there.
Classic car owner problems ;)
$2.99 this morning in northeast OK. It was $2.39 on March 1st, and jumped to $2.99 on the 2nd. I was surprised it didn’t go up this morning… But I’m sure it has gone up since I drove to work.
Soooo glad I have a silly little fuel efficient car.
