And yet in "overtaxed, overregulated" #Britain, which has even less domestic production and has closed down a lot of its refineries, #petrol has only gone up 20% in price since the start of the war (I keep a spreadsheet of fuel costs and compared against the lowest price I had paid since May 2025)

Küresel #petrol krizi yenilenebilir enerjiye geçişi hızlandırıyor

Uzmanlara göre petrol ve doğalgaz tedarikinde yaşanan belirsizlikler, güneş ve rüzgar enerjisine geçiş sürecini beklenenden daha hızlı hale getirebilir #Enerji #SonDakika

To get rid of fuel subsidies we must change the way we live and structure our cities.

I made a very conscious choice of living in a 15-minuye city. Just a five to ten minutes walk from my apartment is a row of shophouses that had everything I need to live - from supermarkets to restaurants and cafes to even dentists, clinics and a hardware shop. I can stay in this radius and live well. If I want to travel further, a 15-min walk away is a train station, and if I walk a little further another station. I can take this light rail to visit my parents who live a few stations away and heck even my brother lives a few stations away. If I want to go to a hypermarket I just need to hop on the train and get there.

On top of that I work remotely. If I need to go to the office in KL, I take the light rail too.

As a result, I can stretch a full tank ⛽ for two months.

Towns like mine do exist in malaysia, but oddly suburb-like towns are getting de riguer especially among the monied. But I don't think I will want to live so car dependently. More towns need to be built like mine.

PS: As I know some folks would prob wanna discuss the subsidies with me. Do read first about how Malaysia's oil subsidies are different than those implemented in some Western countries. In Malaysia these subsidies are considered a social contract of sorts; free market economics etc isn't something we adhere to religiously.

I don't get mileage like this all the time, but now that my Toyota RAV-4's hybrid batteries have "Warmed up" for the season, our gas mileage is getting much better. Our annual total average is ~42.

I did the math a few months ago, and the variable cost per mile was ~$0.10, with a total, fully-loaded cost per mile (which includes the price of the car, insurance, registration, etc.) is ~$1.00 .
If my cost per mile is ~$1 at >40 MPG, what is YOUR cost per mile?

Amsterdam has become the world's first capital city to ban public advertisements for both #meat and #FossilFuel products.

Since 1 May, adverts for #burgers, #petrol cars and #airlines have been stripped from billboards, tram shelters, and metro stations.

OPEC+ 7 ülke haziran ayından itibaren günlük 188k varil petrol üretimini artırıyor. Piyasaların istenilen dengeye kavuşması için önemli bir hamle. Yatırım tavsiyesi değildir!
