    They're pissed because it now costs a lot more to roll coal on road bikers..

    Pretty much lines up with data on fuelly.com if you look at upper 20th percentile. Fuelly is a stupid website that doesn’t take into account trailer towing etc but hey better than nothing.

    That sounds pretty much in line. It definitely depends on the running gears too. My last trip out west in the fall we got 14 on the way out on I-80, got 22 on the way back. I had my topper on for that. It’s crazy what a little wind does.

    those eco diesels and the f-150 diesel are super efficient, the payloads are really great as well, but the price is hard to swallow for a half ton.

    Been paying over $4 per g for over a year, maybe longer, thanks to premium + living in a ski town. Yesterday was $4.59 with my 10 cent City Market discount.

    This will make EVs more attractive and the switch away fossil fuels more likely.

    Past about the time.

    Yes. Electri Cars and trucks that run on unicorn farts.
    And coal. And natty light.

    I’m all for efficiency. And yes. Merica loves guzzling jizz at low mpg.

    We can all do better.

    But give me a high mpg diesel that can burn soybeans.
    If not. Fuck it all.
    Nuke us. From near earth orbit.
    Kill all the telemarkers
    But they’ll put us in jail if we kill all the telemarkers
    Telemarketers! Kill the telemarketers!
    Oh we can do that. We don’t even need a reason

    Wow. That mpg is asinine. That would drive me crazy. Cost aside, I just hate going to the gas station all the time. One of the big reasons I want an EV. Refuel in the garage. That sounds REALLY nice.

    It suffers from the same issue that all self-reporting data aggregators face: GIGO
    If you can find the really anal members <- insert childish joke here - and ignore the noise, it's remarkably accurate.

    Obsession with gas prices is one of the dumbest phenomena in American culture. You've gotta eat, and you need shelter, but driving is completely optional for the 'average Joe/Jane'. Ride public transit. Carpool. Uber/Lyft...

    Plus, gas is so fucking cheap in the US vs literally everywhere else.

    Currently, you can just multiply by 3 to calculate the USD / Gal.

    The main difference is gas is barely taxed here by world standards. Canada's gas tax rate also pretty low but higher than the US

    so you are still paying the $$$ just not at the pumps

    Bali has the cheap fuel, checking on-line the price right now is 1/2 the world price and everybody owns a scooter

    Never in U.S. history has the public chosen leadership this malevolent. The moral clarity of their decision is crystalline, particularly knowing how Trump will regard his slim margin as a “mandate” to do his worst. We’ve learned something about America that we didn’t know, or perhaps didn’t believe, and it’ll forever color our individual judgments of who and what we are.
