as you say, small # of stations but that still represents a lot of people but still a TINY % of people. people waiting in line, burning gas and reading facebook as they wait... makes perfect sense
True, the population is in the millions so a few thousand going to a Costco for gas in a day is a small % of the population, but then again I could drive in and out of the Chevron in 5 minutes, so who knows. Saving money makes perfect sense to me

not all
True, there a lot of people who waste money

meanwhile, people making boatloads of money because they value their time are getting gas at those empty stations
Possibly, but I guess I'll have to make due with waiting in line with all the other peasants

 

Correction, the goal is for 2022, not 2023. I made the correction in the post

 

Nice!

I am waiting for more information about the Lucid Gravity too.

 

in Delaware we have cars coming over from PA and NJ and MD to get their gas, for tires people come as far as Canada ...since there is no sales tax here,

 

What lengths people do to save money is extraordinary. Waiting 15-20 min to charge an EV for a roadtrip that has much less running costs doesn't seem so far fetched.

 

Just imagine if they didn't need to drive to Delaware to get gas, they plugged in and the next morning they are on full. At less than a fraction of the cost of a gallon of gas. Imagine that.......

 

No way...plugging in every night is just way to annoying and it takes hours to charge (even though its during the time you sleep). It will never happen...

 

I know man, next thing you know, they are going to force us to stop using keys to open doors and start our cars. What's the world coming to...

 

​​​@LexsCTJill would say "this is all very fascinating". 😃

 

Well I had my fun for the day. I wonder how many brownie points this is going to cost me

 

Net positive I would say.

I'd like to know why some feel the need to go on a rant instead of just letting you be happy with your purchase.

 

LOL it doesn't bother me. Bring on the ranting!!!!

 

It all goes back to value. Something is not a better value because its cheaper, its what you get for the money. Its great to save money on gas, but if I have to endure the frustration of sitting in line for 45 minutes to an hour + to get gas, then that has no value to me. IMO, my time and frustration have a value on them to me that is way higher than $1.50 a gallon. Now, I know gas is cheaper in certain areas, so when I am in one of those areas I will get gas whether I need it or not...but to sit in a line like that? I wouldnt do that for FREE gas, truly.

Thats why I NEVER go to Costco. There is literally nothing there that is cheaper enough than somewhere else to make it worth it to me to deal with the cattle call that is Costco. My wife loves Costco, I would rather have my teeth drilled than even pull into the parking lot.

 

I feel exactly like you do about going to Costco, but my cheapness gene compels me, and I find myself in line, wether it's a pack of bulk eggs, or a gallon of gas. Luckily, I never remember the experience, thus why I get caught in the never ending cycle of going to Costco

 

I dont have a cheapness gene, which sometimes is a bad thing lol
