Gas would have to get pretty expensive before spending money on a new e-car made more sense than continuing to fuel a car that was paid off 15 years ago (assuming a 5 year loan on the 20 year old car).
Now getting rid of one car and replacing it with a bicycle (or e-bike) would be a boss move.
If inflation is taken into account, current high gas prices haven’t broken the record yet. What I have noticed is that even during times of high prices, I don’t see a lot of changed behavior from people. So it’s not high enough for them to reduce fuel use in needless driving or idling in parking lots. Just high enough to complain about.
I do think we need to move to better energy sources and less fossil fuel use, but that isn’t going to happen without some outside pressure.
Yeah before this I would keep on mentioning how cheap gas was. I mean the four bucks a gallon seen in the aughts would need to be 8 to 12 now to be about the same in my area. Thing is I kinda feel cheap gas and electronics is the only thing that let us keep this house of cards going.
