Manual v Automatic is very much debatable, re MPG.

Still on the dictator for life bandwagon?

I see lots of moaning, groaning, complaining, and pointing figures in the wrong direction
BUT still nobody has told us which gas station they saw closed because there was such a shortage that they had nothing to sell

the TRUTH...

We rate this claim FALSE, based on our research. A claim stating that Biden is following through with a fracking ban referenced an article from a conservative opinion website that notes the Biden administration's recent environmental action. Biden signed two executive orders placing a temporary moratorium on new oil and gas leasing on public lands and offshore waters, but he has not banned fracking. The president said he will not put an end to fracking in remarks released by the White House.

REPEATING A LYING NARRATIVE IS THE GAME......It's either purposeful or ignorant, or some combination of both is what I think

The guy who accidentally charged 69 cents for gas is trying to repay $20,000 to the station that fired him​

The manager of a Shell gas stop in California was fired this week after he accidentally trimmed more than $6 from his station’s premium fuel prices for three hours.

Prices for premium gas at a Shell stop in Rancho Cordova, Calif., last Thursday were as low as 69 cents a gallon, after manager John Szczecina mistakenly adjusted the price from its original rate of $6.99. The last time gas sold for that little was in 1978.

Szczecina’s story quickly went viral, as word spread and drivers flocked to take advantage of the cheap gas prices. But once the error came to light, Szczecina was placed on administrative leave, and ultimately lost his job this week, as the blunder cost the owner of the gas station $20,000, a debt the now unemployed Szczecina fully intends to pay off.

“Even though it cost me my job, it’s fine. Because the truth is, you know, it’s my fault,” Szczecina said in an interview with the Washington Post. “I know nobody wants to say that anymore, but I felt it was important to own up to my mistake and do everything I can to make it right.”

I get that the guy messed up and deserves to be fired but maybe Shell corporate could step up and cover it with the bazillions in record profits they are raking in???

It needs to be more of that in general.

Average miles per gallon for a car

"Right now, as Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said in remarks today, the average fuel economy of the U.S. 2021 vehicle fleet is 36 mpg, and the new standard will increase that by 33 percent by 2026."

In 1977, it was 14 mpg.

Overall, the high price of gas doesnt seem to be putting any kind of dent in the number of vehicles on the road.

Well,. I am in shock. Pulled into an Exxon station in whitestone on the Cross Island service road and paid $4.55/gal reg/unl.

I hope it's the start of a downward price trend.

all I know is my former 6-speed 2012 VW TDI Diesel averaged 50+ MPG local/highway - straight highway 60+


I could make from here across the Georgia into Florida on 3/4's of a tank of fuel.
