Biden's Claim on Gas Prices

[fluffyubnny937]

If you think you are being funny, here's the real truth. Biden did shut down the pipeline, which causes us to "beg" other countries for oil. Which means that they can jack up the price because of how desperate we are. Trump had us energy independent and then "moron" and his cronies messed that all up. So essentially, he did "press a button" to make gas a LOT more expensive. We could be drilling for our own oil and have enough to last for centuries, but nope; let's be dependent on other countries. 

Because as we all know electric cars have never worked ever and gasoline vehicles have never ran out of fuel and been stuck on the side of the road. Same reason I don't use electricity in my house, I just pour oil on everything to make it operate. I don't get the appeal on TV, it's just a black screen I poured oil on.


But he's Saaaaaaaavinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng the PLANnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnetttttttttt!


(Most effective if you mentally read that in the whiniest voice imaginable)

lol I definitely read it the way it was intended!! I can't wait for folks to buy up electric cars and end up sitting on the side of the road because they have "pie in the sky" ideas that it will actually work to have electric cars as our only source of transportation. ugh

I told you all what to do.Go LEASE a Toyota Venza hybrid.You wont even notice the price of gas.Plus you will get 5 FREE maintenances and NOT worry about a major breakdown unless YOU cause it,so drive carefully.

The price of food is another story.

What about the scenario of a hurricane coming and people evacuating but they get stuck in a traffic jam then the battery is too low to continue. It is something that could happen. There aren't many charging stations in rural areas or on interstate highways, is there? How would they finish their evacuation? What about the cost of batteries? Heard they were anywhere from $11,000 to $35,000. Then there's the new worry---batteries exploding/catching the whole car into a bonfire.

Electric vehicles aren't ready for prime time yet. Maybe in 10-20 years but not now. The government doesn't think ahead. They just go full bore into an idea thinking problems with their ideas would magically disappear.

There are recalls with all cars.

The Venza charges itself.Being stuck in traffic you could also run out of gas.

I have the Venza 15 months now.NO problems so far.I have put just under 10000 miles on it.I have a 3 yr lease.

You need to do your homework on the car.The way i see it after my 3 yr lease is up i will lease another one.

We have had 3 Rav4s and a Corolla.Ive been happy with the performance of all of them and i think now the Rav4 might also be a hybrid.

Like i said the price on food *isses me off now more.We dont worry about gas and i have 10000 miles a yr on the lease and its gonna be 15 months when we do 10000 and we are good drivers too.

I think eliminating the anxiety of gas prices and know you have a good car speaks volumes.

I was one to keep cars too long and always fix them etc.Its been over 10 yrs i havent had to go thru any of that.Yes you have to afford the lease etc but i think its a sound investment not to have car problems.

And for now the price in NY is $3.50 a gal for gas.Its been that way for a few months now and WTF knows down the rd what game they are gonna play.

Like i said,for now and the way we drive and the mileage we put on the Venza its 1 less thing to worry about.

I agree!! I have zero desire to have an electric car with all the current problems. It would be fine if the government was giving us a choice in the matter. I feel horrible for the states that are shoving it down the throats of their people. Right now it isn't even close to being a good idea for most of us. To each their own, but don't push it on us. Besides, my car battery might be $50. I can buy a LOT of them over an electric car battery. Plus the cost of charging stations at home and the price of electric predicted to go sky high this winter. THEN the having to wait on charging. It's just all a mess.

We love Toyota's. It was going to be our next car/truck but things didn't turn out the way we wanted with our plans.  But I still stand behind my statements I made that electric cars are not ready for prime time. Yes, gas cars could run out of gas while in a traffic jam but at least they can find a gas station at the next exit if they walk to it today. Will you find a charging station today? I don't think so.  Plus the idea that it takes 8-12 hours (not positive on the times) to charge an EV. Nah. Not ready. Not affordable and the batteries aren't affordable either.

The Venza is a hybrid.Do you know what that means?

It runs on gas and battery and the battery charges itself and it is supposed to be good for 3 yrs.

We spend $20 a wk the way we drive <9000 a yr> and gas is $3.70 a gal in NY now.

I also understand everyone drives differently and do more highway driving.The Venza fits us perfectly so far with a lease.When you do 30 MPH or less,it runs offa the battery.

As i said,im angrier with the price of food then gas.

If i lived in CA it would really be a no-brainer.It still is to me.

I guess those of you who want a hybrid or electric vehicle, good luck! Enjoy I am happy with not having one and don't ever plan to let the government shove me into it. We were energy independent, and the moron president ruined it.

Workin from home and drivin a toyota corolla. Ya save money here friends

I retired my hearing aids until after the 2024 Elections, then maybe I will see if they still work. 

[ccandpam]

I agree. Biden is not at all correct on this matter.

[fluffyubnny937]

I got a crazy idea on how to fix gas prices, I know this will sound crazy but hear me out. What if we gave oil companies more government subsidies? Because as we all know if we give them more money they will eventually say they have enough money and lower prices gas. It's like how when the economy is good landlords lower rent or how us giving bail outs to banks led them to refunding money to people they gave predatory loans to.

You are saying the battery on a Venza Hybrid last three years.  That means every three years this:

The average cost for a Toyota Venza hybrid high voltage battery replacement is between $3,550 and $3,599. Labor costs are estimated between $185 and $233 while parts are priced at $3,366.

I was chatting with a "used car saleman" who warned me about the hybrid battery likely to need replacement after about 5 years. He said replacement cost is approximately $8,000. I thought the battery life was an unknown since none had died yet, and the replacement cost is now less than $2,000. If anyone has info about the battery life and replacement cost I'd be interested to hear

[linderlizzie]

I am pretty faithful to Joe regarding gas prices. I thank him every time I get gas and think of all he's done for our country.

Well, at least China loves him. He must be so proud.
