I'm not defending these prices but it has been worse, in 2008 it was bad like this, even worse adjusted for inflation. It would have been $6.13 in today's dollars at $4 in 2008, that's how much it was then here.

Maybe. But let's see how well this comment ages in the next decade. Administrations change. Policies change.

But anyway Im not saying you can't keep your V8s, but usually the wallet makes the decisions for most people. Oil crises are not new to anyone, we've all been through it and survive, but wouldn't it just be nice to not be affected (at the pump, not groceries) by them?
I think people would switch to more efficient cars before going EV personally.

And EVs were in trouble long before Trump got into office again, let's be real.

Please let's get back to sticking to gas prices and not your theories or prejudices on the war.

They suck that's for sure.

And I'm not trying to defend anything but like I said it was worse in 2008.

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍Sorry, I had to get it out of my system. This morning passed a couple of gas stations near my house, regular has been fluctuating between $5.89 and $6. Cali is really screwed because we don't have a pipline and soon our supply here is going to run dry

Fortunately, EPB (power company) just sent me a credit and lowered my so-called budget billing scheme for the next 90 days. Whew... just in time.

please keep your promise and everyone else do same.

and i can already sense swajames rolling eyes for me quoting amirza's post. the reason is many of amirza's posts are only about politics and rants about the war, etc. sure one of the war's impact are increased gas prices, but clublexus is not a place to debate the war. plenty of other places (reddit, x, etc.) to do that.
