The only thing that seems to have gone down is gas prices. But it makes me high suspect that Trump is doing his own Teapot Dome Scandal atm.
rapidly lowering gas prices = signs of a massive economic slowdown.
it's certainly not due to some massive buildout of public transportation supplemented by EVs and bicycle infrastructure
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah that was my thoughts too
this one asshole gas station I drive by has had their shit posted at $2.99 non stop for the entire year and I really think it should be illegal since it's like 20-30 cents cheaper down the road, gas prices should be fucking regulated
It's probably the shittiest gas, too, lol
for the first time ever I've seen a gas station that has "non-ethanol" gas listed and for some reason it's like $5 a gallon when they're selling regular gas (with ethanol) for 2.69 a gallon and I really wanna know what makes it worth almost twice the price per gallon when it's only a 10% content difference
I had to look it up, and it sounds like it lasts longer without going bad. So stuff that's used infrequently, like a generator, would probably be the use.
Marine use too
Checks out lol
Isn't that where the gas is mixed with 10% wax crayons?
Parts of their daily rations to maintain operational readiness
If you have a lawn mower, snow blower, weed wacker, or chainsaw or any other kind of small engine, non-ethanol gas is a must to prevent issues with the fuel filter, lines, carb, etc.
