Why don't I hear anyone mentioning "Windfall profits tax" Are oil companies immune from legislation under the current administration?

Yeah I drive about 40 miles a day and pay about $20 per month. I would have had to pay $350/month or so with an equivalent gas vehicle.

350 how? my subaru gives me 30 mpg in the city.

SUV and California gas prices?

Someone I know bought two electric cars earlier this year and is very, very happy.

WTF do you drive, a RAM 2500? If the gallon is $4, the $350 is 90 gallons.

A RAM 2500 gets 12 city. 40 miles city per day over a month would be 100 gallons, which at today’s average price in California is $565.20/mo

They’re doing a bit better than that.
