It’s all global. Diesel costs will go up, making the diesel the frackers inject into the earth and use to run all the related machinery more expensive, making the price at the pump more expensive…
Yes, the screws are tightening.

Both major US indices above $90 now, and climbing.

I am paying $4.56/ gallon here in Newfohndland.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('vtsnowedin', 'I')n danger yes but not yet. Too few Teslas have made it to the scrap yard to have reliable figures on total lifetime cost per mile. And they may have to include higher fire insurance bills for garages holding them while charging if they can't fix that problem.
But if I was a betting man I'd bet on the EVs winning out within a decade.

2025... September. Gas is priced about $3.20 / gallon here. Its just not moving any more. Smells like price discovery finally found out what gasoline is actually worth.

New EPA Proposal Would Restore About 50% Of Lost Biofuel Demand

I can't believe it's mandated there to put this crap in your engines. Here you hardly ever see it, it's toxic, I nearly destroyed a chainsaw using it once and wouldn't dream of putting it in my sportz bikes, or my V6. You really get screwed over there, any mad scheme that makes billionaires rich gets crammed down your throats.

In Oz many fools buy ethanol fuel as an option, greenies, brain-deaders basically that trust "the science" and the Government Lies.

In the state of Queensland, Jan-Mar 2025, regular unleaded and premium blends (no ethanol) accounted for 2200 Megalitres sold, E10 accounted for 866 ML sold. Most of the E10 bird-piss is sold in the cities where the vegetables live, out here in the rural areas you don't even see the pumps. Ampol refines the real stuff just north of here in Brisbane. As an interesting Aside, Bing's "co-pilot" AI says
"Lytton Refinery (Caltex) in Brisbane produces 6.5 billion liters per year." But it's not Caltex, it's Ampol. AI is USELESS, trust it at your peril. https://www.bing.com/search?q=australia ... B3518EFEBD

') A $185 price would be short lived and as ICE cars last fifteen years now on average their extinction is a long ways out. The EV cars need to deliver a' new to salvage yard' cost to own set of statistics that show them being more cost efficient to own then an ICE car before the ICE cars are in any danger. That may very well happen but it has not happened yet.
