Gas

Well no way Elon makes it to trillion status with ole Joey runni g the ship into a iceberg.
Tesla stock tanking and spending going down.
Not to mention the shear inflation will drive the cost of that truck up. Not necessarily supply. Put money printed dollars in the others are worth less.
I actually have a friend who works at Tesla and let's just say those trucks are not gonna be what they claim. Maybe a few years but not soon.
Sell me a green car because it's simply better not because the government forces me to.

A new class 8 day cab will run ya about 500k. That doesn't come with a fast charger either. But never fear...the government is here to subsidize that truck with 300k.....yes 300k of of monopoly money!!

Who said this?

"I guarantee you we are going to end fossil fuel."

Hint to people who haven't figured this one out yet. The answer is in post 843.

Who said this....

"You will own nothing, and you will be happy"

It's also the same guy who plagiarized a campaign speech.

And it's also the same guy who used the N-word on live television.

He recently fell off a bicycle while standing still.

He's also to blame partly for my 401k losing losing 20k a month for the last 18 months

Any guess??

Unbelievable, pump stopped at $150.00 and didn't fill up the tank, a couple gallons short.

Funny but not funny, some anger and frustration

Wife got gas last week at Costco, $4.69 a gallon. My Tahoe is sitting still. Mathematician friend of mine did some fast figuring week before last. If the rate of increase maintains the same percent of climb next year gas will hit $34 a gallon.

Not happy after I read your post

Paid $3.89 a gallon yesterday. I was giddy all day.

This 5 and a half diesel is ruff on us workin folks

 

[jessej]

1 Train has 100 cars, 2 engines and weighs 27,240,000 LBS
1 Train carries 3,000,000 gallons of oil.
1 train uses 55.5 gallons of diesel per mile.
It takes 119,000 gallons of diesel to go 2150 miles from Hardidsy, AB (Canada) to Freeport, TX.
Keystone pipeline was to deliver 34,860,000 gallons of oil per day.
It would take 12 trains and 1,428,000 gallons of diesel to deliver
that amount. PER DAY!
521,220,000 gallons of diesel per year.
The oil will still go to market with or without the pipeline.
By stopping the pipeline billions of gallons of diesel will be wasted
and pollute needlessly.
Does that make you feel good?
Stop the Tar Sands all together? Then we must ship the oil from the overseas sandbox.
1 large oil tanker can haul 120,000,000 gallons of oil
1 boat takes 15 days to float across the Atlantic.
1 boat uses 63,000 gallons of fuel PER DAY, that is about 1 million gallons of the most polluting type fuel in the world PER TRIP.*(See below)
Or take 3.5 days of Keystone Pipeline to move the same amount of oil with a fraction of the pollution.
In international waters ship emissions remains one of the least
regulated parts of our global transportation system. The fuel used in ships is waste oil, basically what is left over after the crude oil
refining process. It is the same as asphalt and is so thick that when cold it can be walked upon. It's the cheapest and most polluting fuel available and the world's 90,000 ships chew through an astonishing 7.29 million barrels of it each day, or more than 84% of all exported oil production from Saudi Arabia.
Shipping is by far the biggest transport polluter in the world. There
are 760 million cars in the world today emitting approx. 78,599 tons of Sulfur Oxides (SOx) ANNUALLY. The world's 90,000 vessels burn approx. 370 million tons of fuel per year emitting 20 million tons of Sulfur Oxides. That equates to 260 times MORE Sulfur Oxides being emitted by ships than the WORLDS ENTIRE CAR FLEET. One large ship alone can generate approx. 5,200 tons of sulfur oxide pollution in a year, meaning that 15 of the largest ships now emit as much SOx as the worlds 760 million cars
Eliminate all gas consuming cars and diesel vehicles?
Worldwide car gas consumption is 403,583,712,000 gallons a year.
That's Billions!.
Worldwide oil consumption is 1,500,000,000,000 gallons a year. That's Trillions!
It takes 2.15 gallons of oil to make 1 gallon of gasoline/petrol, and
0.6 gal of diesel.
So, it takes 867,704,980,800 gallons of oil to run the worlds cars,
most diesel vehicles for a year and some ships
That leaves 632,295,019,200 gallons of oil for other uses.
Passenger vehicles are only a very small percentage of the problem. If emissions are the problem why not just capture them at the exhaust?
Create an industry to clean exhaust instead of crushing an entire
industry and building a complete untested, replacement industry?
So are we willing to dramatically increase mining to get all the
minerals necessary to make all these batteries and electric motors?
Mining is far worse for the environment than oil extraction.
Killing Keystone was glibly decided by EMOTIONAL IDIOTS WITHOUT BRAINS! DESTRUCTIVE idiots who are fooling America to boost their standing with Foreign paymasters.

Ours peaked at 4.89 for gasoline but just crossed back under 3.50

 

[manitou]

Still at 4.12 here for lowest grade.
