Suffering from success
I didn't even notice. I've had them on my instance block list since the day instancr blocking was added to Lemmy.
A gas vehicle driving 15k miles a year at 28mpg only pays about $99 in federal gas tax. The rest is state and local where it matters more, as they have way more lane miles to manage than the feds.
Only 1200 a month?
God I wish.
Well, you shouldn't. The FCC wants its fine powers back so it can put any anti-Trump media completely out of business, or at least force them to toe the party line.
No passenger car Nissan should be touched, their CVT's have been and continue to be unreliable dogshit.
One of the later signs of dementia is a belief that one is in a younger age. Where older, stronger memory connections hang on after more recently formed ones have been lost.
Toyota did it, Honda did it, everyone is doing it right now. Covid simply destroyed the modern manufacturing dogma and most of these companies have failed or not bothered to really recover from the supply chain collapse, since they were selling every single vehicle they could make for close to four years straight.
You'd be surprised. They're less common in urban areas, but you can find multiple in any parking lot in more rural areas.
You want a carbureted small block Chevy or Ford.
Nope.
Pre 1990 mechanically fuel injected, naturally aspirated diesels. 7.3 or 6.9 IDI, 6.2 Detroit, most Cummins industrial engines.
Diesel lasts significantly longer in storage (2+ years) than volatile gasoline (6mo max). I've even seen some non-mixed diesel last 10+ years when stored right.
But the biggest deal is that compression ignition engines can basically run on literally any vaguely flammable liquid substance. You can make biodiesel from a ton of stuff ranging from oil bearing crops to animal fat. They run way longer on oil changes because they don't dump as much thin gas into their oil. And there are no real consumables like spark plugs, distributor caps/rotors/points.
In a post-society situation real fossil fuels or petroleum lubricants or parts will not be available.
I don't even know what the real Vance looks like anymore
