Fuel Prices.

Guaranteed the local TV news opens with some bimbo standing in front of a gas pump somewhere. Good thing I don't watch it.

Exactly, when a gallon of gas costs what a gallon of beer costs, then people should start complaining.

[MagnificentUnicorn]

Yes. Electri Cars and trucks that run on unicorn farts.
And coal. And natty light.

I’m all for efficiency. And yes. Merica loves guzzling jizz at low mpg.

We can all do better.

But give me a high mpg diesel that can burn soybeans.
If not. Fuck it all.
Nuke us. From near earth orbit.

You have high aspirations

It suffers from the same issue that all self-reporting data aggregators face: GIGO
If you can find the really anal members <- insert childish joke here - and ignore the noise, it's remarkably accurate.

Obsession with gas prices is one of the dumbest phenomena in American culture. You've gotta eat, and you need shelter, but driving is completely optional for the 'average Joe/Jane'. Ride public transit. Carpool. Uber/Lyft...

Plus, gas is so fucking cheap in the US vs literally everywhere else.

I don’t really complain or shop around for gas. I’m going to buy it anyway. If I start to notice how expensive it is, I’ll adjust my mileage accordingly. We have so much affluenza in this country it’s ridiculous to complain about fuel prices

$2/l in Vancouver (don't know what that translates to in usd/us gal) I'm really looking forward to the arrival of my EV.

Since I’ll be renting a car in Vancouver soon I figured I’d do the conversion…

$2.00 CAD / liter * 3.785 liters/gal * 0.79 USD / CAD = $5.98 USD/gal

Edit: or as frorider pointed out earlier, just multiply the CAD/l price by 3 to convert to USD/gal…

Currently, you can just multiply by 3 to calculate the USD / Gal.

yeah so instead of them 3.8L sissy american gallons they use the same gallons as the queen up here so 4.5 liters per imperial gallon and then you gotta think about exchange rates

[ötzi]

why do you even have gallons? And I don't think you guys should get to pick how big a gallon is unless you use them, so a gallon is what we tell you a gallon is.

[XXX-er]

we don't really have gallons anymore they are mostly for old guys wondering how many MPG,

its all liters but why do you have them sissy little gallons ?

[SKIP IN7RO]

A gallon of cola needs to be carryable in two hands. We would love to consume an imperial gallon but carrying three 2 liters is tough.

One thing that's weird for me when I drive to Canada is my dashboard displays fuel economy and in the U.S. it's miles per gallon, so more is better. In Canada it's liters (or litres, if you prefer) per 100 km, so less is better. Took me a while to understand why when I was driving uphill it seemed like I was getting good fuel economy!

[ötzi]

re skip intro's post: And there you have it.

...my dashboard displays fuel economy and in the U.S. it's miles per gallon, so more is better. In Canada it's liters (or litres, if you prefer) per 100 km, so less is better.

The display changes when you cross the border?

My feeling is if you're driving a vehicle that isn't fuel efficient you've got no leg to stand on when you bitch about the price of gas. That's like buying a 4,000 sq ft house and complaining that it costs a lot to heat and cool it.

And behead the remains.

[Ted Striker]

partly, also because for a lot of low wage workers car transport is huge for being able to work

Yeah, the people I feel for are the food etc delivery drivers.

The chino wearing lardass driving his F150thousand solo every day to Initech so he can attach new cover sheets to the TPS reports can suck it.

[gravitylover]

At this mornings price the cost for me to go where I need to for work this week will be around $500.

Did they ever get the trains up north to run on metric time?

Those guys irk me so much too. Don't get me wrong. People are free to drive whatever they want, BUT when you're a cube jockey and don't even know how to turn a screwdriver, then I don't wanna hear your ass bitch about gas prices if you choose to drive such things to commute from suburbia to your generic office building.

Same goes for chicks who insist on big SUVs for their 2 kids. I know of one such person who when telling me she was in the market for one, I told her "You know gas isn't going to be cheap forever, right? This is an anomaly. In a couple years that thing will be over $100 to fill and you'll be filling often." She didn't care, bought it anyway. Now she was telling me the other day how painful it is to fill, and it's put a strain on their finances. They are now considering selling the vehicle. On the plus side, the stupid thing is worth MORE now than when she bought it, so that's a win I suppose. And so long as SUVs are going for silly money on the uses market, gas prices have plenty of room to go up. Sorry, truck/suv drivers. You made your beds. (I'm speaking to the ones who don't actually NEED them that is. And no, suburban housewife, you don't "need" a Nissan Armada for your 2 year old and goldendoodle)

@'Tukey Strong to very strong rant

Whilst I'm commuting to the jobsite hauling nothing but my lunch box in my F250, could you please expand to include boats, snowmobiles, airplanes, road trips etc.

lol. Please expand to all the expensive toys. Oh fuck off. If doubling the price of fill up for your weekend you is make or break you shouldn’t have Bought it

[Cono Este]

Unfortunately It’s all good for Amazon prime.

I wish it was under different circumstances buts it not a bad thing when people start realizing they spend $5 driving to home depot to buy a role of duct tape.

Your game used to sharp and respect. Now its just washed up and weak.

I could tell you about how I actually support higher gas prices as an incentive to change and that how my big truck is a tool for making money and that I have more fuel efficient options available but I've got a gnarly driveway to negotiate. Or that I laugh at people that are so unaware that they can't appreciate how fortunate they are when they bitch about things like lift lines and the cost of plane tickets to Mexico.

But I don't think you want to here that. So keep on keepin' on. I hope you had a nice weekend and did something fun. Seriously.
