And I think you shouldn't be driving a giant gas guzzling SUV or truck.
I filled up a family members Rav4 the other day. It was $96.
Not exactly the best car, but hardly a gas guzzler. Or maybe it is, idk. I normally drive electric.
Even my motorcycle is $25 to fill
i took a chance last year and bought a honda ruckus for daily driving. it pays for itself in the gas im saving, i spend abt 10 bucks a month for gas. i hope to upgrade to a real bike at some point but for now i will enjoy the 100mpg perk.
can i ask what you ride, and the mpg?
Honda ruckus hell yeah I love those things! Sv650 and I get 60mpg (edit wrong acronym)
oh i like that, reminds me of the honda hornet! i was wishing i had the budget for one of those lol
Yeah I mean at these prices even a lawn mower might cost $10 to fill
I follow a lot of lawn care YouTubers
More than a few commenting about raising prices and canceling contracts of customers not willing to pay enough to cover it
Its not an insignificant difference either, like +$40 on a weekly cut for a quarter acre lot. That's between a 35-50% price increase depending on the market of the people I'm watching
The trucks to get there being the big portion of that increase not the mowers, but certainly the mower/trimmer/blower opex increased as well
Regardless though anyone not running primary electric rigs are definitely hurting right now
Those who invested into it early, and especially those who got State and Govt incentives, before the current administration shut them down have a massive opportunity to cash in over at least the next ~2 years while this settles, keeping their prices just below whatever their competitors have to charge until their routes are fully booked while those running gas are forced to raise prices and renegociate contracts to maintain profits
bruh is deep in the lore..

My CRV takes 10 gallon when it's on empty. and gets 32 mpg. Just saying.
we've been going backwards on fuel efficiency. the little compact i had back in the early 90s got over 40mpg.
Greenpeace modified a compact car with off-the-shelf parts in 1996 so it could get 68mpg.

Because we discovered that running the engine lean and hot for maximum efficiency creates NOx and we donβt like acid rain.
I think the gas was in the 6.50 range? Idk.
The display say 17.624 gallons. That is a full size SUV or truck.
Not necessarily. My 4-door sedan holds 18 gallons. It's 12 years old now. Maybe they're making them smaller now.
Just saying its less than what I paid for what I would consider to be a "standard"-ish vehicle?
I don't think a rav4 stands out as an interesting vehicle.
That's like 68 litres. My current sports car and my last 3 sedans have all had bigger tanks than that.
Could be a labourer. I didn't see much point in trucks and such before but now it makes sense for some to have them.
80 bucks to fill up my minivan.
17 gallons is 64 liters, thatβs a midsize sedan tank.
Yeah you should not drive a tank either. Even if it is midsize.
some people have a buttload of kids to haul around. generalizing this topic isnt helpful
I was refering at a tank as in "Main battle tank".
That being said, I have 2 kids and my car is (I just checked) 3.81 meters long. I'm not even sure cars of that size are still being sold in north America. What I'm sure of is that finding a convenient one of this size is becoming complicated in Europe, so my next one will probably be a tad bigger.
Still, I don't understand what so called trucks or SUV are for.
