Good move. Although the fact that I said that means Rivian will probably double in value in the next year.

Ahh, they must have sold you the cheap kind.

Actually, it was $175 and I didn’t need brakes after all. Engine filter, oil change. They charged $15 and were going to fail me for a dirty cabin filter. It takes 2 minutes to change it do after I whined, they took the $20 "labor " off. Smart move on their part. I wouldn’t go back otherwise.

I’m interested in knowing why you went there in the first place. For less than $100.00 you could have changed your own oil.

If you had changed it, you could have knocked the dirt off, recycled and saved yourself $15.00. Glad you were able to pocket that 20.

I heard about this. It won’t affect commercial lots at all because they all have EV chargers. Gas stations…they don’t tend to have a ton of parking spots here. I’m thinking most of them will have to pay the fine.

Interestingly, last night I had drinks with friends and one of them had done an analysis of how much he saved with his electric car over gas. His calc was that it cost 4 times as much to buy gas than power. He charges at home so it may only be 3 times as much for someone like me who has to charge at power stations. Anyway, for the amount I spend on gas, there’s no way a 60% savings justifies an electric car. At some point an EV will become logical for me but 2022 is not yet that point.

Ive had no car payment for 4 years. You can buy a lot of gasoline with no car payment. It is pretty much impossible for me to get an electric car without a payment.

I’m currently spending about $300/mo on gas. Reduce that by 60% and I’m saving $180/mo. There’s no way I can justify a $75,000 expense to save $180/mo. There’s also the very real possibility that gas prices will drop in the coming months, which means the savings could be less than $100/mo.

Any savings in energy would be evened out by insurance costs.

I’m probably spending $250 on gas per month, but I carpool 2 days a week, so that saves about 30 dollars a month.

It looks like we are going to go with 15% ethanol at the pump. As opposed to 10%. Do you anticipate any problems with this? I guess it will eliminate any need for Russian oil.

I guess switching from 10% to 15% ethanol will reduce gas prices by 0.1 USD/gallon.

Or about 2 cents per liter.

I know nothing about ethanol but I have to think they wouldn’t be switching if a lot of smart people hadn’t said it’s ok to switch.
