dollars more a month for me. I don't understand how people deal with those giant trucks they use to go to the grocery store.

and I can do all of my local running around on electric and it doesn't use all that much gas either.

I had to choose, the last time I bought a car (6.5 years ago).

but, I really like it.

Pretty much only use gas in the winter because the ICE has to run to provide heat. Or if I'm driving over 26 miles in one trip.
That said, I fill it up about twice a year and the tank is like 11 gal. I run on electric for all the errands.

Although many new apartment constructions are building in EV charging stations.
Things are gradually changing but roadblocks by trumpy after he regained office again haven't helped.

but a solution to fitting for charging stations has eluded us so far.

From one station holding at $2.59 to another charging $2.99 for regular, to diesel ranging from about $3.89 to $4.99, the price gouging is nuts.

all the trucking industry does …

Transportation costs for everything just went up … affecting food prices

2.77 on Monday
2.99 on Tuesday
3.29 this morning…

…another .15 on the day; .67 on the week.

Paid 2.59 three weeks ago. Last night I paid 3.19 a gallon.

I don't know what it is now.

I dread my next oil change.
