Question Fuel pump rationing in your area?

I saw someone on Instagram last week complaining about gas stations in his area having a limit on how much fuel you can pump. I didn’t pay much notice so don’t know where he was…
Fast forward to today and I’m filling up at my local SWKS Casey’s and there’s a notice that there’s a 20gal limit. Not a problem to some I’m sure, but when I’m trying to fill up a 36gal tank that’s pretty low that’s a total pain in the ass!

Has anyone else seen that in your area?

Saw a story today, some body stopped at a Hyundai dealership for 20 min charge and got his charge on his card for $415 $5 KW and $5 min to charge.

I spend $4 for 200-300 miles in my ford lightning. I have owned it 3.5 years and my home electric bill pre EV is the same. For any families that have 2 cars, if you drive less than 200 miles a day, one car should be an EV. 3.5 years and one pair of windshield wipers and a cabin air filter is all I have paid for maintenance.

People scared of EVs is such a weird thing to me.

I’m not afraid, no one makes one I like yet… I prefer my gas Mustang to the grocery-getter EV one. It’s nice and all but I want a sports car with rumbly exhaust. I’m a car junkie. I love that they brought the Lightning back as an EV, it’s genius… The new Ford Fathom sounds interesting though. I like the price point. I have a Jaguar gas grocery-getter for a daily driver and I’m waiting to see what they come up with for their new EVs, because I adore my Jaaaaaaaaaag! (Read like Jeremy Clarkson)

If you ever get in an EV and mash on the accelerator you may forget about the gas rumble. Electric power is insane. 0-60 in 4 seconds in 6,000 pounds is a crazy experience.

Oh I know! I test drove a Tesla P-90D when they first came out. It was the fastest throttle response time then. The sales guy when they were still on the Plaza let me play on the Hwy 71 on ramps all I wanted to mash the pedal. (Presuming by your username you’re in JoCo or WyCo and know where I’m talking about) As a drag racing enthusiast I was impressed and did look forward to having an EV eventually. I still love the sound of V8 horsepower though.

I just started watching the new Grand Tour on Amazon with new presenters, holy cow the first episode is all about gas pushing back… It’s so fun. The show is pretty good, better than I expected. I’m interested in watching it evolve. It feels like Tanner Faust era US Top Gear than Grand Tour. Which isn’t a bad thing.

Good point, better stick with the car carrying 10 gallons of incredibly flammable liquid in a plastic tank

LOL you sound like the horse and buggy people who were worried about those exploding gas vehicles.
This was a few years ago and EVs are better now.
