Two photos which quickly summarize why I’m enjoying commuting via Scooter. The first photo is a picture of the previous customer’s gas bill to (I assume) fill up his vehicle. 80+ dollars for a full tank. The second is my scooter, under three and a half dollars to fill up my (admittedly smaller) tank. I will get about 70-80 miles before having to refill.

I shudder to think when that person will have to refill.

Are you a California resident? Sorry about your gas prices

shortformblog:

• $4.65 per gallon gas prices in California as of Sunday morning, due in part to a power failure at an Exxon refinery in the state.
• 84¢ the amount this is over the national average; it’s also 24 cents over the next-highest state, Hawaii.
• 16¢ the amount gas prices have risen in California since Friday alone. source

I feel for all my friends in California right now. $0.84 over the national average? Ouch.
