jet A and 100LL count too!
I've been buying gas in nevada. California priced me out again. About the only gas I've burned in the last year is my dirtbike. Working from home has probably saved me a few thousand in gas. It's fucking awesome.
$4/gas... coming this summer to a station near you...

Had an '81 Toyota 4x4 that ran fan-fucking-tastic on 100LL. Catalytic converter didn't last long though. No clue if it passed CA smog inspection after I got rid of it.
mmmmm lung lead
Whelp it's hit $3 per litre down here......
I just paid 5.70 a gallon filling up the flatbed with diesel. Makes me wish I still had my farm tanks
Didn't figure you to be an optimist, I am impressed
I am pretty much always an optimist…that’s why I keep getting back on my bike, and doing stupid things!
why stop there
Let's see what that gets us... if not sufficient, let it go up some more.
people of means advocating price increases on moral grounds while casting aside the people affected the most in poverty

let them eat cake?
“Let them drink unleaded”
let them wait for public transportation if their time is worth that little
(and if they live out in the boonies yet are so precisely on the knife's edge that a few dozen extra dollars per month will bankrupt them then that's just unsustainable on many fronts.)
What's that? Can't hear you all the way down here. That ivory tower have an elevator you can come down in?
All that city livin' must make your horse pretty high
Poor people don't deserve to even work.
They should live in cities so they don't have to travel, the same cities that are astronomically unaffordable as a long term outcome of muh investments, and muh business improvement districts. And they should definitely use non-existent public transportation that I can't be bothered to look for any evidence of.
Fucking people over who definitely aren't me, even into homelessness as a vehicle for change is always the best approach.

Same place as my thread about arrogant neolibs buying $80k cars twice a year because a different color came out while they decry wastefulness.
Fascinating to know that f150s are the only things that run on gas. I'm so important and better than their owners though, that if a few people with beat down sedans suffer collateral damage, it's worth it to show that guy in the muscle shirt who's boss.

pretty sure that was me. i still have the images in my photos file.
And you do love to pretend that your financial situation is just a choice for other people
And that everything you don't want to face is a strawman with no basis in reality.
I mean, I guess we could continue to subsidize fossil fuels to insure $2 gas forever, but that seems a little short-sighted, IMO.

No, it's horseshit and we should absolutely stop doing that.........I mean, I guess we could continue to subsidize fossil fuels to insure $2 gas forever, but that seems a little short-sighted, IMO.
AFTER WE HAVE A REPLACEMENT SYSTEM IN PLACE AS EQUALLY ACCESSIBLE AS GASOLINE IS NOW
This dumbass mArKeT sOlUtIoNs to everything completely leaves out everyone who was never in tHeMaRkEt™
Whilst I agree with the immorality of pricing people out of their only transport option, the bigger picture is that we urgently need to stop burning stuff and that the US super really urgently needs to invest in public transport and a cleaner fleet anyway. All of this needs to be happening at once. Gas absolutely should be super expensive, but cheap, clean PT also needs to be in place for urban and extra-urban users. In Denmark you can still get a bus to a town or railway station even if you live on a farm miles from anywhere, granted it is still smaller and denser than the US but there you go. For people who live far away, the government could subsidise or offer low interest loans for EVs or whatever whilst building out a charging (when I type that my autocorrect suggests ChargeNet, our local one) network. You are of course eye-rolling at how impossible this sounds. Of course it’s not, and actually pretty easy compared to say, building four more nuclear powered aircraft carriers.
Short version, your legislative systems are totally fucked, you are so deep in I don’t think you even see how bad it is; you need a revolution.

You're not wrong...
All blowing up gas prices is going to to is
1: Nothing to deter rich people who are proven to be the biggest polluters anyway, but can afford it and will
2: Make everyone else poorer because it doesn't magically present an alternative that isn't there
Gas is tickling 6 bucks a gallon here. You think that's deterred traffic or something? It's worse now than it ever has been. 8, 9, 10 ain't gonna change that. If your goal is less combustion, the SYSTEM needs to change. Not just making a resource that everyone depends on more expensive. And not subsidizing expensive shitty ass electric cars.

If you guys need me, I'll be out in the boonies establishing a barrier wall and installing a leadership structure under our buddy blaster. Not sure about his friend master but I guess they come as a team
So you're a Libertarian?If you guys need me, I'll be out in the boonies establishing a barrier wall and installing a leadership structure under our buddy blaster. Not sure about his friend master but I guess they come as a team
No I just want to skin rich people with teslas who preach about what everyone else needs to do.So you're a Libertarian?
Sounds Libertarian to me.
I'm not sure that word means what you think it meansSounds Libertarian to me.
We have a restaurant here called Liberty Burgers, maybe you could butcher them, and sell the meat as premium grade A us MEAT?
Just trying to help here.

Let's be real, that posh Jackson way of life is far more likely to result in some A5 wagyu people meat.

Too stringy?
Yeah, the rich meat here is stringy, freakin’ skiers and climbers, you will never catch them in their sprinters or climbing the Grand. Now the tourists….fat and slow like Buffalo. Easy to harvest.
