I feel sorry though, for all of those that have to commute 5 days for lower wage jobs that can't afford an EV. I wonder who they will vote for in 2024?

I've got one of those too which my wife drives, but fortunately are on hybrid WFH and the office and the office is close. Only drive it on weekends for "truck things." Otherwise we take my old Honda, which isn't the best by modern standards but still does 10 mpg better than the truck.


I do sympathize with those that commute and only have one vehicle with poor fuel economy. The elites actually want them to feel pain. The good news is that small cars are still quite unloved and are readily available for them to buy.

That would suit me just fine. I like a fire sale.


Never said I couldn't afford expensive gas, just that I largely don't have to.



What's with the rhyming by the way?

Yeah, some great deals will be had. Years ago, when gas was $4 plus a gallon in my area, we snagged a sweet Ford Excursion with a V10 for a great price. That was a great truck.

Was thinking the same thing, but let the kids have their fun with their nonsensical conjecture, and bogus, cherry picked examples that don't apply to the masses.

Michigan has 67 Superfund toxic sites, and has only cleaned up 17 of them....why?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...es_in_Michigan

$7/gallon gas is coming and all Whitmer cares about is her own political agenda...not consumers who cant afford $7/gal fuel, and not Michigans environment. Heck, she own a boat that gets 1 mile per gallon!

Total hypocrite that dictates rules to the small people to follow, but not for her own selfish azz to follow.
Detroit is no linger "motor city"!
