It’s the part about being happy about it that I don’t like. I drive a hybrid, but that’s about saving money more than anything. I’m not happy to see the tank at full. It just reminds me of my contribution to making things worse.
Let’s all live in shame because we can afford electric. I hate to tell you the huge amount of emissions that go into producing the electric cars in the factories too. Also the non-renewable resources that go into them.
I got an 02 Subaru outback in really good condition, and only 196k miles. I still got a few years. When it dies, I’ll probably get a car around 2012 or so. No way it’s cheaper to get an EV then to buy used.
I mean, having to worry about getting around all month on a mostly empty tank, side-eyeing the gauge at every traffic light at the commute to work isn’t that great.
I know a few people that had a hard time paying for gas to even get to work and when they managed to fill the tank they felt relieved, so I can understand where those people come from.
I personally am glad I can work from home, just saves so much gas. Fill it up, use it for 1-2 months to buy groceries, visit people, drive to the few work appointments that don’t work over Teams.
As a rule of thumb: gas is good 2-3 months in a car tank, before it’s ability to properly combust deteriorates. It wont go bad immediately, but it’s power yield worsens over time, so does your car’s mpg, because it needs more gas to compensate.

$300/year to drive 10,000 miles per year feels pretty good though. Also, zero emission at the tailpipe.
Everyone will be driving ev within 10 years.
Lolololol 👌
I’ll definitely spend more to get less car and break even after 10 years of owning an EV.
You crazy if you think we’ll all be EV in 10 years, as much as I wish that’d be true
I still drive a 2002 lol
Your car will not last forever. I got rid of my 2002 3 years ago when it broke down. The ev was cheaper.

You will be able to buy used evs by then. I bought two used evs, for less than $31,000.
Again, it’s about being happy about it. You don’t have to live in shame. There are other options.
Full tank of gas is a sign of getting paid, it feels good.
I’m pretty sure a full tank of gas is a sign of spending money. They don’t pay you to do it.

You still realize that electricity isn’t free and in many places is close to the cost of gas, especially at super chargers?
Cope.
In case you didn’t know: combustion engines don’t run on electricity, but that magic dinosaur juice, so your ramblings don’t make sense
I drive a plug-in hybrid and a full tank means I accidentally overfilled since it’s just going to sit in the tank for months at a time.
It doesn’t go bad so fast though.

Just don’t let it sit there like half a year
