Topped off the tanks yesterday. Since I mostly bike each tank lasts a month or more depending on how many times I have to shuttle kids.

I’d love for gas to go to $10 a gallon. I5 would be a ghost town. No traffic, save the environment (kind of). Oh yeah!

It kinda is / getting closer in Europe, people still drive a lot though… And my city has decent public transport.

It has that decent transportation be wise of that pricey gas

I wish it were that simple. Unfortunately we still get screwed even if we don’t drive, how else would food and supplies get delivered to shops? It’s all dependent on fossil fuels… Everything is going to be more expensive. I guess this is what Trump supporters think “owning the libs” is.

This is oversimplification, the market adjusts to price increases. Making new tech more and more options preferable.

Stop subsidizing gas and see how other fuels, other transportation. Options flourish.

An electric large carry truck will only happen when the market can prioritize it…like woth 10$ dollar gas.

I want $15. Let’s price everyone out of commuting.

Except then you’ll end up paying more for everything else too.

A lot less good for my disabled ass but go off I guess.

I don’t know why you are getting down voted. It is a harsh reality that yeah cars suck, but if there is a near instant harsh transition away from cars that will directly harm the more susceptible groups like disabled, elderly, and very low income families far far worse than the people who are the actual problem. I feel for you and hope you do alright in this shitty future.

IMO People who are against cars should be advocating in support of real alternatives. Like well funded public transportation that working people can actually use and don’t make the commute twice as long.
Show threadautriyoMar 11
People who are in favour of cars should also do that, who wants to sit in traffic?
Show threadPatrikvoMar 12
You’re right, each time I’m stuck in traffic I realise that if all those other people would have taken the bus, I would have allready been at my destination.
