• Gas prices plummet in Vancouver.

    From BillB@21:1/5 to All on Sat Oct 7 06:43:21 2023
    Gas prices have dropped like a rock here over the last week. Just filled up the Jeep last night and regular gas is down to $4.90 US per gallon. This is not a good development. If this keeps up the poor people are going to be off the busses and back to
    clogging up my roads. And don't even get me started on the damage to the environment! If you factored in all the negative externalities I bet gas would be at least $9/gallon.

    I like getting around on my eBike whenever I can. Teslas are very inefficient in comparison, offer no exercise, and aren't that great for the environment either.

    I drive a suburban doing city miles. You don't seem me complaining like a bitch about the gas prices.
