The pro-Trump members of my car club on Facebook are trying to claim that gas price increases are not because of the Iran war, which is a hilarious and pathetic cope. I bet there is not a single oil markets analyst who will make the claim that the $100/barrel crude price isn’t directly caused by the #IranWar.

@drahardja @chargeyapp Interesting German analysis of hybrid car fuel consumption: You lose much of the electric benefit because they constantly start the combustion engine regardless of mode and you also lose possible electric range due to the built-in combustion system and much smaller battery compared with pure electric cars.

Plug-In-Hybridautos gelten als kraftstoffsparend. Eine neue Studie, die dem <em>SWR</em> vorliegt, zeigt jedoch, dass ihr Verbrauch deutlich über den offiziell angegebenen Werten liegt. Umweltschützer und Forscher fordern Konsequenzen.

@frumble @drahardja I’m not a fan of hybrids. Worst of both worlds. No EV performance and you still need to buy gas.

And you still have all the ICE components that need expensive maintenance and repairs.
