Fuel prices are down a lot making people who rushed to buy ev's etc a bit silly

Diesel was A$2.41 today down from A$3.40 just a few weeks ago

The people rushing to Chinese ev's and Chinese solar and Chinese batteries are looking a bit silly now

@LegendofPeza How am I a liar? Diesel went up from under $2 a litre before Trump started bombing Iran to nearly $3.50 a litre and has dropped back down again basically a whole dollar and I bought some yesty (inc filling my two backup jerry cans) for $2.41 a litre.

I *never* have range anxiety and go up to a month without needing a re-fuel event scheduled into my calendar. I *never* have to search to find a public charging station that actually works and that I can afford to use.

During a few weeks during 'peak covid' when everyone's jobs with cancelled by the government yet mine kept going I could buy petrol and diesel for under $1 a litre.

It's still 'cheap energy' until it gets to double-digit per litre prices (A$10 per L or more).

@zonavar68 'Gas prices rose again on Wednesday(today), jumping to a national average of $4.23 a gallon, a fresh high since the start of the war in Iran. The increase has raised the cost for drivers by 42 percent, according to the AAA motor club.'
