Another EV price link... just cause I know a few will click on it to see what costs are.
There are still incentives for buying some of these models.

One of the most vocal about thanks brandon and gas prices on my social media feed drives an F350 jacked with a lift, always has his sled on the back of it, even though he complains he only gets out 3 times a month to ride it, etc... I don't feel bad for that. What it'll do to drive inflation on the 'gallon of milk' metric... that is a bit of a more nuanced conversation.
Yeah, maybe a good start for some of these numbnuts would be to quit flying a giant flag in the bed of the truck.
Did my usual daily morning Craigslist browsing and it is getting BOMBARDED with a bunch of pretty newish (and expensive) large trucks and SUVs. People probably scrambling to ditch their gas guzzlers to get top dollar while they still can. Bwahahahahaha!
Gotta laugh at all the rubes who bought $50K+ luxury gas guzzlers who thought cheap gas was somehow going to last forever. Gonna be fun watching prices plummet on these vehicles and seeing everyone collectively be underwater on their jumbo 10 year vehicle loans. Screw 'em.

Until someone starts talking about odd even rationing, 55 MPH speed limit everywhere again, and mandatory thermostat min in summer and max in winter you kids need to just chill the fuck out and relax..
Right, or, eventually you’d have to raise your prices which is why the cost of everything will rise more quickly while gas is high. We’re just not that protected from inflation resultant from fuel price spikes. IMHO of course. Actually, we probably are insulated from it to a large degree compared to some alternate scenario, but it’s still got a large factor so an economist can put a better label on what I’m trying to say.Quote:

you don't claim vehical expenses against commision ?
right now its a tuff go for people on fixed renumeration like cab drivers/ uber/ food delivery and they are going to have to get more
Nope it's a codb. Claimed on taxes but not reimbursed by the companies.
If we had high gas prices for the last 40 years, you'd have a whole *array* of economical, small cargo vans to choose from.Quote:

Something tells me gravitylover would still be buying 500 hp Yurpean SUVs with questionable histories.
not really sure what a codb is but it sounds like you can claim any/ all expenses against whatever $$$$$$ you make on your taxes ?Quote:

The mother corp had to do this cuz revenue Canada tried to keep us from the extra benifit of IBM just writing expense checks willy nilly
so everybody doing the high milage remote fixn was driving a VW TDi

A month ago CA average was in the $4.70 range. I was listing credit card price...so a little less if cash. I think there is some price gouging, plus higher tax & high demand. I find it odd that in LA you can stand at a gas station, see it being pumped out the ground and refined, but still pay some of the highest price in CA.Quote:

Together, they added about $1.27 to the cost of a gallon of gas last month, according to a calculation by the Western States Petroleum Association. About 40 percent of that cost comes from the state’s gasoline tax. California taxes fuel at 51.1 cents per gallon, the second-highest amount in the nation after Pennsylvania, according to the Federation of Tax Administrators.
Kevin Slagle, a spokesman with the petroleum association, based in Sacramento, said gas prices also tended to be higher here because the state was a “fuel island.” California produces enough gasoline to meet 30 percent of its needs, and the rest is imported from Alaska or other countries, he said. There are no interstate pipelines carrying gasoline into the state.
That means that all imports must come by ship or truck, both of which are more costly. (If you’re wondering, California’s biggest foreign importers of crude oil are Ecuador, Saudi Arabia and Iraq, according to the California Energy Commission.)
Woke up to $4.99 diesel this am. $.90 jump from last Friday. FJB
