I'd like to drive a Hummer EV.

 

I'm not sure I'm ready/willing to own one.

Even when your being helpful you can still remain a D***

I’ll take “someone who shouldn’t be critiquing others about the English language” for $200, Alex.    Your posts are riddled with poor grammar, misspellings and the improper use of “your” vs “yo

The 4.3l is a great motor. You’ll love it. As for the other comment by Teddy Ruxpin.  Move along old man.

That's why I said drive, but not own.

 

Kinda like renting a sports car once in awhile to relieve the itch. 

 

I won't be owning a Hellcat or GT500 either.

If Biden wins, you can say bye bye to Hell Cats, GT500 etc etc. His Gestapo will see to it.

This is as close to an EV as I wish to get.

Boys that is what a drag of .25 and a EPA MPG of 70 mpg looks like. ? 

 

Pepper is very forgiving. 

20158 Silverado is .41 but about 3X the frontal area.

Is what it is boys.

Good thing my Camaro identifies as a Prius [emoji16].

I used to see one of those in that color almost every day for about 10 years or so. I imagine it came time to replace the batteries. EV’s have their place but I prefer being able to hop in my car and drive 700+ miles non-stop on about 15 gallons...or 630-650 around town.

No high $200 registration tax either (although that obviously varies by state)

 

There is a red one about 25 miles from me. Not all the colors are that ugly. New battery is about $3K ish with install included. But they don't go bad often. I would consider a car like this on two conditions. 1.) It isn't UGLY and I think this one is cute. 2.) only for to and from and  around town. Even this one is a hybrid and would go much much further.

Cute?  Since when are cars cute? That term should be reserved for kittens and puppies and certain young ladies!  Even the old ads for the Mercury Cougar didn't claim they were cute, they just purrrrred at ya!  ?

2003 Golf Diesel. I should note that I’ve been using it as my commuter since 2018 and with work just 2.5 miles away all in town driving.

A friend use to drive a diesel Rabbit. Use to get pretty close to 60mpg (open highway) if my memory is correct. 

The Mazda 2 Coupe (Toyota iA in the USA) I owned for a short while before I traded it for Pepper was over 50 mpg...

CXS Freight claims they can move 1 ton of freight 500 miles on ONE gallon of diesel. (diesel/electric hybrid).

The technology is there.....the willingness to use it is weak.

      Gas Prices

      Can ask that about a lot of places.   Holiday sells 91 for $1 over 87 octane. BP 93 is 80 cents. Amoco 93 is 80 cents Kwik Trips is $1.20 for 92 or whatever they have and $1 for the 91.   I know that this is not exactly same as what you are saying with the premium to premium debate of those two stations but why is there such a difference. Top Tier this and that, it's all BS. All the fuel comes from the same damn refinery, so give me a break.

      Why does Mobil Premium cost 90 cents a gallon more than Shell Premium when their regular offerings are but pennies apart?

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !
