Fuck the gas prices
However high they are isn't keeping any off the roads.
Traffic is just as brutal when it was $2.49

If this impossible scenario happened, sure, I'd give Trump credit. However the opposite is taking place currently, and there is no possible argument against the fact that the current rise in gas prices (and fertilizer, and soon everything) is solely due to the war that Trump began without provocation or even consulting congress. Do you even have a shred of an argument to dispute that fact?
Hope you're having a great day, rsm.

How fucking stupid are you Dan ? You can't even concoct your bullshit lies to even match what you say in the same sentence. $38 for 7 gallons is $5.40/gallon. Nowhere in Missouri is the "Cheap Shit" in Missouri over $5 gallon. Last night the cheap shit in Missouri was $3.78 gallon. Times 7 gallons that's $26.40.
Being a fucking liar is one thing, but being a completely smooth brained retard AND a liar ???

And in 7 years when we send all the $30,000 dead batteries back to China for recycling.
They will dump them all into the sea.
Hope you dont eat fish.
EVs emit more carbon emissions during manufacturing than most cars emit in their lifetime.

That's all false, but have a great day man!
I'm going for a drive in my 12 year old EV! Very little battery degradation so far, and only a few hundred $ in maintenance.

About 210,000km. But that wasn't the metric in question. Brother 70 Mach said they would be dead in 7 years.

Let me get this straight….
Gas prices are up, so Couch is a genius for owning an EV?
Another odd flex.
What’s the point of the argument? EV’s are amazing and combustion engine vehicles are not?
Such an odd thing to argue about.

Global electric vehicle (EV) sales saw a significant boost in March 2026, with roughly 1.75 million units sold, driven by high fuel costs and, in Europe specifically, a 50% year-over-year surge in the EU.
In the US, new EV sales increased by 20.3% month-over-month (82,629 units).
Australia saw an 89% increase, while India's sales doubled.
Used EV sales jumped over 27% from the previous year.
Here's a good article:

Not a genius, but it's definitely cheaper to operate an EV. Even before gas went up. By a lot.
But yeah, my business still runs 3 gas trucks so that is getting a lot more expensive. I will be slowly phasing them out for EVs.
Cheers man!

Admittedly, from a technological standpoint…Tesla’s are pretty slick. But not the most practical option.
Out in Ag country here in Texas, they serve no purpose though. There’s no way to make them do the work required in a large agriculture region with huge chunks of miles between everything.
There’s no possible way to utilize EV’s for anything other than a basic commuter vehicle.
You really think replacing your gas work trucks with EV’s will have a net positive on your business?
I would think the upfront cost would nuke any downstream profitability.
An inexpensive gas fleet truck even with higher gas prices is surely cheaper to operate over the life of the vehicle than an EV truck.
So why switch other than to virtue signal? I would assume that’s the sole purpose because from a business standpoint, it doesn’t make much sense.
Maybe I’m wrong.
I always associated EV ownership to two things…a draw to the technologically advanced, or virtue signaling. No other reason really makes sense to me.
