You see, in summer the party line is summer blend is more expensive, and in winter, they say winter blend is more expensive.

I could be completely off target but I thought winter grade fuel was more expensive than summer? How is summer more expensive?

Yeah, less than full automation is asking for trouble IMO.

Neutral - Ride sharing apps will become taxi services. Once regulations catch up with them, we’ll all be paying normal taxi prices again, but we’ll be hailing them from apps.

I’m starting a meal sharing service. I will sell you food. The menu is an app and you have to pay using the app.

Let’s say gas prices remain high in North America for the foreseeable future and not because, ya know, it always goes up around this time because of oil refinery retooling, maintenance, and summer grade is just plain more expensive than winter grade fuel..be that as it may, say gas prices remain high.

and car companies fear having to make cars to two different national standards

Let California do their own thing. As if they’ve never done that before.

If the car companies are smart they’ll plan ahead and continue R&D for efficient and clean vehicles. You’d have to think that a more liberal federal government will immediately return to Obama-type rules.

You’re likely the only person cross shopping those two.

In Michigan we just call this the summer tax. During winter we usually see lower gas prices and now that its getting to be summer and people are traveling to their cabins in droves prices go back up, happens every year.

Or they will buy more Corollas and Civics.

i may be wrong, but the nimbys fighting against the apartment building housing all the poors and browns usually tend to be.....

I cannot believe what our country has come to, people on a car enthusiast site bitching that we don’t have a great public transit system.

I don’t care either. We drive a Nissan Leaf and a Model 3. Both powered using our solar panels (sort of). I’m voting to keep CA’s gas tax!
