For the last ~6 years, I’ve watched gas prices mostly as a curiosity since my truck stayed parked in the driveway most days, but now that I’m driving back and forth to work, I feel the pain of those $100 fill-ups. But how bad is it compared to the past few years?
Since March of 2022, I have been running an app to record a half dozen gas stations close to me every day. I use this to carefully calculate how much money we are saving with the Tesla compared to a gas car. Here’s the chart:
So they are high but not quite as bad as when Russia invaded Ukraine. We live in a nice little pocket of reasonably priced gas, but there are currently some stations at $5.99 for gas and over $7.29 for diesel. Ouch.
I wonder what we’ll think when we look back at this post in 10 years.
