Potatos_are_not_friendsThis is my reason for joining "Fuck Cars"
What i don’t understand is how fuel efficiency does not seem to be a concern of an average buyer? It is a large factor for me, and I’m proud to have highly efficient car for its class. Are those large trucks somehow more efficient than older, smaller models? Or are average buyers just not concerned with efficiency?
Well not everyone has seen the light of factorio, so i might be over-fixating on efficiency.
Yeah all the people bitching about gas prices are getting 8-12 mpg in these things, filling a 25 gallon tank once a week. A lot of these folks aren’t exactly rich either and the trucks are expensive. They’re paying a mortgage payment in monthly fuel, insurance, and loan expenses on these things.
If they could keep their egos in check, they’d save a lot of money.
KaRunChiyOr the fuckers rolling coal in lifted diesel pickup trucks. Like if you drive in that trash your opinion on gas prices is null
vaultdweller013My 91 Cherokee has better mileage than a lot of modern cars, I think the last time I did some basic calculations it came out to about 25 MPG.
For people in modern countries - that’s about 28 litres per 100km that these selfish, thoughtless fuckers are going through. Cunts
My wee car uses about 5.5 for reference
Kept reading about the fuel costs but never bothered to do the conversion. I understood they drank a lot so didn’t feel the need to know exactly how much…didn’t realize it was quite that high. Fucking hell… And I thought 10-15 was a lot for a car.
Part of the issue is that, despite people whining about how “high” fuel prices are, they are extremely low compared to most of the world, even during periods where it’s higher than usual. Although a sustained period of higher than usual can get some to switch, like the period around the financial crisis.
To put this into perspective, current petrol prices are hovering just below £1.50 per litre in the UK, that’s $8.64 / gallon
Got myself blocked by a friend who was bitching about the high cost of gasoline and pointed out how cheap gas actually is in the US because its subsidized so much. Wait, the block came later when he was complaining about welfare queens or something. I mentioned that was an interesting take from a farmer since they are the biggest welfare queens in the country.
My coworker complains about gas every other day. Like asshole, you drive your pickup truck three miles to work.
It’s a 8 minute bike ride.
