Thanks for dusting off these old chestnuts.

As gas prices surge, here's how to get the most out of your tank
As U.S. gas prices hit record highs, it's an especially good time to improve your car's fuel economy. Keeping windows closed, avoiding high speeds and getting routine tuneups can all help.

Thank God gas prices went back down.Oil suffers 'spectacular' collapse, enters bear market just 5 days after settling at nearly 14-year highs

That’s how you know the President is working.Thank God gas prices went back down.
I thought we had to measure his performance on tweet likes per day?
Much like each of our annual appraisals is based on how many of the "useful" ratings our Ridemonkey posts get across the year??
When my boss tells my I’m lagging on my KPI, I make sure to rebuttal with an update on my RM reaction stats.
Ya the prices are falling like a rock around here,
We went down an amazing 6 cents to 5.94 a gallon for 91 in town today.

Part of the gas prices rising is kind of amusing, kind of not...
On top of every Nissan and Camry owner not knowing how to merge on to freeways here, now every other 'tard in a pickup truck is taking ten minutes to get to up to speed, after merging. I assume to save gas. COME ON BRO SPEED UP, even my 15 year old shitty Toyota with 102.63hp can move faster than you!

Although lowering velocity area under the time curve will help, in general highway BSFC efficiency will be at high load and low rpm. Lug that beast.
Except automatic transmission, of which every modern iteration I have driven downshifts wildly and unnecessarily at any hint of throttle input.
Got to feather the throttle to not make it kick down.
Which will result in just really slow acceleration.
And?
canadamos complains people are accelerating really slow
toshi suggests they should maintain a high load and low rpm for efficiency
I say that automatic transmissions prevent you from doing that as under high load they will downshift give you high rpm
toshi suggests drivers go light on the throttle which describes the original condition canadmos was complaining about
I facepalm
Check out this torque pipe I just put on.It’s called a fucking EV you infuriating dinosaurs!
It's a narrower overall expansion chamber which increases exhaust gas scavenging providing more fueling for a given combustion cycle. It's two stroke obviously so scavenging is an important process in maintaining the best possible compression and fuel delivery. Of the cylinder. Which is being moved by combustion. Of gas. And oil.

You chain looks a bit dry.
Had a street legal one I should have never sold.
The price of refined gasoline has dropped by about 25% in the past weeks. Retail prices haven't budged.
Are you referring to making Molotov cocktails or driving to work? Cuz I don't really drive to work anymore.
you ask just the craziest questions......
but I thought it was the fault of those damn hippy enviro-mental-ists what wanna make us all drive eeelectric ve-hicuhls
they really are the gift that keeps on giving.It’s called a fucking EV you infuriating dinosaurs!
Damaged Tesla continues to burn in Illinois tow yard
Firefighters in New Douglas, Illinois are continuing to put out flames after a crash involving a Tesla last week. New Douglas Volunteer Fire Department says the Tesla suffered significant front-end damage on Thursday, March 10. A caller reported the car was "blowing up into flames," according to...

one week, over a thousand gallons of water (because environment) and still going strong!

You're not surrounded by them. You have no idea.
And apparently you're not familiar with the uh.....let's call it build 'quality' of the things?
You also thought people making fun of crooked and fragile intense frames was stupid until you learned how many of us had one

dude i live in banker city...i can't throw a pebble without hitting one. zero problems with them in general other than the boss is an asshat. i'd rather be surrounded by them than squatted pickemups and blinged out tacos with toppers and hitch racks...You're not surrounded by them. You have no idea.

i also have zero problems making fun of intense frames. but my uzzi served me well for 8 years of stupid abuse, and the company hooked me up when it failed until they no longer had the parts.
gonna take my crabon bars up into the hills tomorrow. if you never hear from me again it was a good run.
Like you emotionally, personally have zero problems with them or they are mechanically sound?
Because if its the former you certainly havent looked into the latter.
Dont forget Im 3-4 hours from where they were developed. And I live where they were 'tested' for a lot of things. I dont know what bankers city is but 40% of all teslas sold are in this state. Those cars are trash. And theyre expensive so theyre an absolute smug douche magnet.
You cant even tow the things and have to maintain a subscriotion service to get the fucking brakes bled. Its a membership lifestyle service, not a car.
Didnt realize there was such deep love for never ending lithium fires, something tesla has proven exceptionally good at generating.

I really don’t get the Tesla hate either. You justifiably might not like the guy personally; he is a slightly autistic borderline extremist who plays a troll on twitter, but seriously:
He has unarguably done a huge amount to do what he has always said he wanted to achieve: To speed the adoption of electric vehicles to help slow climate change. Literally no other entity before him has achieved anything like this (in the consumer transport space at least). As a fairly progressive hypocritical greeny tree hugging cunt myself, I don’t like how he conducts himself personally, but actions are significantly more important than words.
I’m trying to think of things that America can be proud of in 2022. All I got is Nasa, Tesla and SpaceX. What else?

Yeah, but that gig is over because they cost 80K now.
