$5.59 today for Regular Unleaded. Diesel is now almost at $7.00. It's gone up $2 in 2 weeks. They're going to run into an issue with the electronic signs when it hits $10 a gallon by Easter around here. And it's going to be an issue with my company fuel card that only allows $200 a day.

Costco at Christiana, DE is $3.29 this morning. it is just under 5mi from my home. I try to manage my trips so I buy fuel there while on my way to/from someplace else.

This is the same gas station I photographed on March 10th. Price has increased about 9% (50 cents/gallon) for gasoline...

Don’t you want the price of gasoline to be high? Won’t that magically start the EV revolution?
Soon, I’ll post my farewell message. The end is starting to get close. There are many misconceptions about me, and before I go, to live with my ancestors on the steppes, I want to set the record straight.

Electric cars preceded gasoline vehicles. They only made a comeback after rechargeable batteries were improved.

Short answer is yes, I'd like to see the price of gasoline to be about double where it now is. In the last year or so I have driven a few thousand miles in UK and continental Europe, and cars tend to be smaller because gas/petrol is expensive. (But larger SUV-type vehicles are more and more common every time I go.). We need to start economizing now - EVs are a partial and temporary solution - and public transport has to grow to become the norm.
