Over 5 bucks per gallon when I filled up yesterday

Maybe your local gas station is ripping you off?

You all seem to think the only EVs are made by your god-king Elon Musk. That’s not the case.

Do you have any idea how much $$ is given to oil companies?

Coal, oil, and natural gas received $5.9 trillion in subsidies in 2020 — or roughly $11 million every minute — according to a new analysis from the International Monetary Fund.


Now please explain why we can’t make electric cars affordable because of the “taxpayers”?

Taxpayer is already footing the bill for cheaper gasoline, has been for decades. So why should it be any different for electric?

Because cheap gasoline and subsidies for oil companies helps hardworking patriotic salt of the earth Republicans, which is good. And subsidies for electric cars helps effete cosmopolitan coastal Democrats, which is bad.

Gee, you’re so brilliant. Why didn’t everyone else think of this!

Take it up with the goobers who live in 4000 sq foot houses hours from their work, to which they insist on driving an SUV or a truck with crap gas mileage. You Republicans are always blabbing about “personal responsibility,” so why don’t you insist people take some when it comes to egregious fuel use?

I’ll be sure to pass on your wisdom to my kids’ daycare teachers, so they can sell their McMansions and Suburbans right away.

ALL of my kids daycare teachers take the metro to work.

That’s an even more intelligent solution. It costs me more to take Metro to work than drive.

No way unless you get subsidized parking. But then the same money could also subsidize your metro fare.

Cost of crude oil is way down, cost of gasoline up.
The blame lays with greedy oil corporations, not Biden. But of course that’s no fun.

I'm sure it costs less to drive if you ignore depreciation, maintenance, and repairs.

Similarly, it's cheaper for me to take Uber Black cars to work than to take metro or drive, if you ignore the fares.

I see the experts at DCUM are just plain stupid. There is usually a week or two delay in gas prices at the pump compared to the price per barrel. Go back to your Russian hoax and 1/6 theories.

We aren't so stupid as to not notice that when the price at the barrel goes up, the price at the pump goes up immediately. When the price at the barrel goes down, they take their good sweet time over the span of a month plus to lower it again. That's gouging, my friend.

Muttering things like "1/6 hoax" is immediate disqualification for participating in any intelligent conversation. Go back to the kids' table.
