B.A.C.A.H. saysInteresting, 230,000 miles; how many years?

B.A.C.A.H. saysCannot afford it? What's so wrong with carpooling ("ride sharing"?). I traveled once to a place where folks of modest means who were lucky enough to have a car would pick up strangers along the way in exchange for some small amount of money to defray their fuel cost. I even got a couple such rides myself.
In these days of suburbs, where it's not unusual for a couple to work in two completely different directions, or neighbors for that matter, carpooling is less of an answer.
The entirety of the US is built around suburbs and commuting.
What would really be great leadership is "If you are not physically required to be present, companies MUST let you work at home or themselves be ineligible for any tax breaks on gas/travel expenses."

Interestingly, the complainers are Ford Mach-E and Bolt owners, and 70% of them didn’t have a level 2 charger at home while Biden said F and GM are the leaders in EV’s. Uh huh….

Only someone without a garage would find charging inconvenient. Those people are probably complaining.

To be fair Biden hasn’t done much to cause inflation. If he had passed that Build Back Better bill than maybe. He hasn’t really done anything other than continue Trumps economic policy on forbearing student loans. Even extra kid money stopped this year.
Not defending him because I feel he should have pushed everything through with all his might and executive power. Should have forgiven as much loan money as he could under executive order… probably $10k for every borrower. But he’s really done nothing he promised. And is gonna get crushed for it in the midterms. Although I do see loans being deferred again until after midterms. He can blame Putin easily for that one. When it’s really to not piss of student debt voters.
I predict gasoline to reach $8/gallon in the near future.
It will be interesting to see what they do with their 3-digit signs when gas goes over $10/gallon.
Maybe they will start selling it by the liter.

I wonder what Buttpirate will say?
There are a few, like the guy in Chicago area who attacks me, calls me out, calls me names, thinks he's inside my mind that I cannot stand the fact he likes to fly
I got a Model Y dual motor. Ordered it back in August and it arrived in January. The thing is a spaceship! The speed, acceleration, torque, regenerative breaking (especially the regen breaking!), infotainment/audio system, autopilot (didn't get FSD). Can't imagine the acceleration in the Performance model let alone the Plaid, it is already crazy fast for a mid-range model.
All American car made by a company with a non-woke CEO like Musk.

Sick of paying nearly $6 for a gallon of gas?
Just head on down to Tijuana, where prices are nearly $2 cheaper per gallon.
The trip will pay for itself!
A dozen miles south [of Chula Vista], just across the U.S.-Mexico border in Tijuana, regular gas sells for an average of $3.96 a gallon — nearly $2 less than in California.
