Nope. There's no such thing as losing a good spot when you have to move your car twice a week for street cleaning anyway. It's so fleeting that it doesn't matter.tempo_n_groove said:

Thing is, once someone gets into the mindset that their cars are essential, they then use their cars when it’s not essential, and frankly—as the pandemic has taught us, obesity is a health crisis in the US—they’d be better off if they walked or biked to do some of their errands.mace1229 said:
Being car free is unrealistic for the average person. Most major cities build out, not up, so it’s too wide spread for really efficient public transit. Riding a city bus 30 or 40 miles that many people do because it’s too expensive to live closer to work would add hours to the commute. There would t be enough time in a day to take kids to practice, games, etc if you had to rely on the public system.PJ_Soul said:Spiritual_Chaos said:Weird seeing people complain about gas prices WHEN YOUR CARS ARE HELPING FUCK UP THE PLANET.
Raise the prices. And make people cry in their stupid SUVs
As someone who went out of her way to arrange her life so she could live car free, I agree with this sentiment, specifically when the complainers are people who absolutely could use public transit if they simply chose to. But nooooo, they're addicted to their cars. I understand there are folks who have no option other than a car, but SO many of those whining about it don't actually have to drive.It’s not bad if you’re going to a baseball game or bar hopping, but not very practical for family needs.For instance, the grocery stores, restaurants, places geared toward errand runners in general are no farther away from me where I live now than a lot of them were when I lived in Brooklyn (~10 or 15 minutes). And we walked to those places (and much farther!) when we lived in Brooklyn. I fell into the trap of driving to them for a while if I had an errand to run where I live now because that’s what everyone else does, but I started walking to them about a year ago. (If I’m feeling brave, I’ll ride my bike. But I’ve got kids, man. And I think it’s an underground Masshole motorsport to intimidate, injure, and kill cyclists.)
We did pay for a spot for a while and pretty much forgot that we owned a car until camping season rolled around.I SAW PEARL JAM0 -

Dishonest pricing is what I call it!Yeah, these are “high” prices for Michigan, but haven’t come close to some of the prices I’ve seen in California. We are down a few cents today though, around $4.12. The high last week was around $4.25-$4.30 in my area.

Right, at least for a few days. I’m sure it will go back up closer to Wednesday/Thursday next week for the weekly gouge.brianlux said:Hi! said:brianlux said:

https://www.inquirer.com/business/energy/gas-prices-average-four-dollars-gallon-aaa-gasbuddy-20220811.htmlGas prices fall just below $4 for the first time in 5 months
Prices have dropped 15 cents in the past week and 68 cents in the last month, according to AAA.
Gasoline prices dipped to just under the $4 mark for the first time in more than five months — good news for consumers who are struggling with high prices for many other essentials.
AAA said the national average for a gallon of regular was $3.99 on Thursday.
Prices have dropped 15 cents in the past week and 68 cents in the last month, according to the auto club.
The shopping app GasBuddy reported that the national average was already down to $3.98 on Wednesday.
ADVERTISEMENTFalling prices for gas, airline tickets and clothes are giving consumers a bit of relief, although inflation is still close to a four-decade high.

Oil prices began rising in mid-2020 as economies recovered from the initial shock of the pandemic. They rose again when the U.S. and allies announced sanctions against Russian oil over Russia's war against Ukraine.
Recently, however, oil prices have dropped on concern about slowing economic growth around the world. U.S. benchmark crude oil has recently dipped close to $90 a barrel from over $120 a barrel in June.
ADVERTISEMENTHigh prices also may be causing U.S. motorists to drive less. Gasoline demand in early August was down 3.3% from the same week last year after tracking more closely to 2021 numbers earlier in the summer.
Prices at the pump are likely to be a major issue heading into the mid-term elections in November.
Republicans blame President Joe Biden for the high gasoline prices, seizing on his decisions to cancel a permit for a major pipeline and suspend new oil and gas leases on federal lands.
Biden said over the weekend that a family with two cars is saving $100 a month because prices have dropped from their peak in mid-June.
“That's breathing room,” he tweeted. “And we're not letting up any time soon.”
Biden has also sparred with oil companies, accusing them of not producing as much oil and gasoline as they could while posting huge profits. “Exxon made more money than God this year,” he said in June.
Exxon said it has increased oil production. The CEO of Chevron said Biden was trying to vilify his industry.
The nationwide average for gas hasn't been under $4 since early March. Prices topped out at $5.02 a gallon on June 14, according to AAA. They declined slowly the rest of June, then began dropping more rapidly.
Motorists in California and Hawaii are still paying above $5, and other states in the West are paying close to that. The cheapest gas is in Texas and several other states in the South and Midwest.
A year ago, the nationwide average price was around $3.20 a gallon.

$4.50 in Westchester county NY with the occasional $5.50 seen at the rip off stations (i.e. stations where people do not check the price before filling up). There are more than a few around these parts.0

$309? What the fuck?
Damn, that is great.The love he receives is the love that is saved0 -
$5.49 at Missouri Flat Road Chevron. I'd like to pay less I suppose, but would rather pay more for quality gas and improve performance and cut down on repairs, so this is fine with me.
