RE: Jayapal: Gas Prices Will Go Up ‘No Matter What’ and We Need to Move Off Fossil Fuels

We're getting robbed. Ed @theouterlight mentioned gas in Kiwiland was ~$10/gallon. I about choked. I may actually have a try at making a wood gasifier and seeing if I can make my truck run on wood. I can get that a lot cheaper than $10/gal.

Sort:  

Have you ever wondered how much of the price of gas at the pump is taxes? I suspect that Oz and NZ are worse. I'm pretty sure that Eurp is.
I know Canada is. Been there.

I'd be careful about that wood gasification thing. I suspect it's hell on an engine.

I get pretty good mileage, but I need a truck to get my tools to jobs. I'll have to heed your caution if I need it.

The good thing about EV's is that they can be recharged. The bad things are numerous. Good luck with the truck.
