Most people on here drive Cybertrucks so gas is not an issue.

Prices I’m paying that bothers me. Groceries, utilities, insurance premiums piss me off far more.



Well, energy prices are the reason for all of the other high prices you mentioned…

Trouble is, when energy prices go down, inflation does go down. However, prices do not go down.

Are you hurting yet with 3.99/gal gas? Diesel 4.99.

TBH, I'm real tempted to hop into a RAV-4.

Grocery prices, yes. My insurance and utilities , no. These industries cite anything and everything possible to justify higher rates. They were high before this current jump in fuel prices. And I was pissed about it then.

I'm averaging 25 mpg in my truck. I drive a lot. The gas prices aggravate the hell out of me but the reality is that its a small % of my income that I'm spending on it and I shouldn't worry.

The weirdest thing to me is grown men being worried about if their vehicle looks cool
