If I wasn’t riding for free as a student, my bus pass would automatically cap out at $18/week or $5/day. RIP to everyone living without public transit.

I fucking wish I could take mass transit to work. The only option that Google maps shows is... Lyft. (Which isn't mass transit).

I get an almost full tank for $50 in SE Michigan as long as I'm not out getting gas in the boonies or near the airport. Small car, small 12gal tank.

Just bought a new electric car the other day. My wife and I now both drive electric cars. Next step is getting solar.

I know that the gas prices will hit us indirectly. But damn it feels good to have an EV right now. I mean, it did before, but especially now.

50 bucks? if only, I paid a lot more than that on my last refill. Unsustainable.

My truck is now about $190 CAD to fill, good thing I don't commute in it. The cost to fill it sucks but its worth it when doing stuff like yard work or taking stuff to burn/throwout. I see people with their shiny trucks going to work and don't get it.

The Ford 350 I recently rented was $297 to fill up 3/4 of a tank.
