Zitat von boxter im Beitrag #6 I'm guessing the production costs of what you put in the tank have increased. |

Zitat von jrt im Beitrag #15 pop was commonly used in the UK when I was a child. The Corona pop lorry called by our street once a fortnight. I think it derives from the stoppered bottles originally used. The ones with the stopper attached to the bottle so they could be reused easily. Make much more of a pop on opening than the now common crown cap. Seems pop was invented a lot earlier than I imagined, 1792.

Zitat von zer0netgain im Beitrag #18Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #17 It's only March. One was pleased to see that pop was invented in the UK, 100 years before those upstarts Pemberton and Bradham started peddling their quack medicines

Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #17Zitat von jrt im Beitrag #15 Somewhere in the middle of Pennsylvania, you shift from soda to pop. As a kid, we used pop, as in............"What kind of Pop do you want?". Of course, in those days, there were numerous local bottlers offering pop in 6 or 7-ounce single serving or 28-ounce big bottles. Our local bottler has the unfortunate name "CRAS".

Zitat von Bunter im Beitrag #16Zitat von boxter im Beitrag #6 https://www.fuelseurope.eu/wp-content/up...AL-REPORT-1.pdf Perhaps, not the cost, but the loss in Russian crude and refining capacity for the European market. Anyhow, according to this report, the European (I used to be able to say EU) refiners have excess gasoline production capacity and sell it to the US. The details of US crude and refined production can be found at https://www.eia.gov/petroleum/supply/weekly/

Zitat von MrVvrroomm im Beitrag #22 You're at 16-cents per kwh? That seems high. But, seriously, the posting about buying premium and the 7-mile commute reminded me of how fortunate I am to have a 20-22 e-range on my plug-in hybrid.

Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #23Zitat von MrVvrroomm im Beitrag #22 16 cents is how I calculated it by taking my whole bill divided by KWh used. There are a lot out there that say they are charging at X cents/KWh, but in reality there is connection fee, tax, fees, etc that must be factored in. We aren't in any special programs. We just use it right off the tap. The EV charging programs, in most cases, require a 2nd meter which is not free to install, plus additional charges for having that meter every month. We don't drive many miles now that we're both retired. I made electricity for 40 years. I figure I can pay retail for the relatively small amount we use.

Well, now I’m doing stuff I didn’t do since I started driving….topping off the tank if I was near 1/2 full when in town…just in case.

Zitat von Ali-bear im Beitrag #28 You've lost more money in 5 years with Shell and BP than you've probably spent in fuel. Invest same amount in S&P500 and forget it.

Zitat von MrVvrroomm im Beitrag #24Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #23Zitat von MrVvrroomm im Beitrag #22 I pay double that in Northern California right now at the lowest price tier rate from PG&E (Pacific, Graft and Extortion), with another 30% price hike anticipated later this year due to the company's tendency to start huge wildfires and then being sued for billions of dollars in damages by property owners who are now homeless. They say that they need $10 billion (to start) to underground thousands of miles of their overhead power lines that are causing the fires when they are hit by a tree limb or the failure of 100-year old electrical equipment. I have no doubt that another price hike will be in our future due to the increased cost of oil and natural gas.
