Oh, whatever country happens to be behind me -

Yep, shopping - $100 to fill the gas tank, $400 at the Walmart grocery -

Rince and repeat, after the next SS check comes in -

Filling the gas tank in the UK has gotten a load more expensive.. Average family car Ford Focus £80+ to fill-up.. That's circa $115!!

easy solution.

Buy an electric car, install electric home fast charger, and save loads on gas money!

Think of all that money you can save over the course of several years, after spending a load of money all at once now!

EV driver logic!
