COMMUNISM Gas up 18% since election, could surpass $4 under Biden

[AlfaMan]

Today I found cheap 93/premium gas at a Wawa in Woodbridge, VA. It was $ 3.35 a gallon. Last week I bought the same gas there at the same station. It was $ 3.19 a gallon I believe.

But it is a real problem to millions of people like those who must drive a long way to work. Many people here drive 50 miles each way to work at a huge Toyota plant and their wives also have a car to drive to work closer to home. If you are using 30 gallons of gas a week and the price raises $2 a gallon, you suddenly have $240 a month less in your budget. That difference impacts your spending for most people. You may eat out less or delay purchases you had planned but I've watched for decades and the economy always declines when gas gets over $3.50 for very long.

Thank you for this reply!

I see folks bragging that they only drive 12 miles a month or that they refuse to ever fly again...

Great - if you’re retired or unemployed. I have to drive for work-related things sometimes but I also have to fly occasionally.

These increasing fuel prices hurt the economy in so many ways.

It’s $2.71 in SW Illinois (near St. Louis).

My cheap little econo-box Prius C gets 45-55 mpg. I’m tickled pink to have C-Biscuit in my life!

I drive a 2004 Suzuki Vitara SUV. Rav 4 sized 4x4, with a 2,5 litre V6 engine. It gets around 22-23 mpg carrying me and all the work gear as I drive around daily.
Those Prius C models (known as the Toyota Aqua in the Japanese home market) were one of Toyota's better ideas. A compact car with a hybrid drivetrain. Your Prius is actually based on the unibody structure of the Toyota Yaris of the same model year as your car. They sell overseas like pickup trucks here-wildly popular vehicles. Too bad they don't sell them here in the US anymore.

I paid $1.66 for diesel this past December, now it's $2.79.

Wife and I have worked from home for a year now and will continue to do so as both of our companies have allowed us that option.

Our average gasoline bill has been less than $20/month for the last year after being more like $400/month for a long time.

We do have a few trips to Texas for various family events this year so those trips will cost a bit more.

I paid 3.099 for Non-ethanol regular in my AO in central SC.

In my 45 years of car ownership, I've owned and driven a bunch of cars, but I don't think I've ever had a car that I enjoyed more than my Prius C. It's just cute as a button and it's sturdy as hell.

I'm in a couple online groups with other Prius C owners, and people are reporting 250,000+ miles with minimal maintenance issues.

I can't believe that they discontinued it. I'm thinking about getting a newer one next year. Mine is a 2016 with 80,000 miles now.

I drive a Ford C-Max hybrid. Gets 40mpg, but it is a little larger than a Prius.
I have driven the crap outa mine (203,000miles) and mine also requires very little maintenance.
Not looking forward to replacing the lithium battery, but worth it to keep the car running.
Best car I have ever owned.
I keep telling people Ford F'ed up and made a good car for once.
Of course, they worked with Toyota to develop that Prius technology.

It could even easily go up over $5.00 an gallon. Now even the liberals will be screaming if this happens do think.

 

[mzkitty]

Up to about $2.50 a gallon here in St. Pete.

 

[Lone Eagle Woman]

Glad that I do Not have a car. Learned long ago on existing and getting around without a car. Wherever I go it is either on foot or my mountain bike these days. Where I live here in Wyoming, there is much country nearby without any roads which is still wilderness country where I like to be anyway. Soon it will be 'Hell' in society in my opinion. The high gas prices are only the very beginning of what is coming in my opinion.

Yeah. The thing is though that when it hurts that bad the voters, as much as they matter anymore, tend to react.

That's ok, they know certain systems (which cannot be named without billion-dollar lawsuits) got their backs.
