With the price increase figured Id jump on wagon as I have a 1200 ltr tank so filled it up with premium marine...came on monday 1.73 Yesterday saw premim at pump 2.04 wow hell of a jump, Thanks trump
 
Guess who’s going EV shopping this weekend? Lol. Craziness. Used EV’s Seem pretty cheap and $1000+ a month on diesel is not. I figure I can get another car and break even compared to driving the truck every day

I paid 2.28 at the pump yesterday and the fuel dock in Steveston was 2.29. 10 cents again in a day? Robbery

I’m sure it’ll keep going up and this war won’t be done quickly. So I’m gonna buy a used EV and take a chance on a used car. I’ve never bought a new car, but buying a used electric car seems scarier than a gas car for some reason. I figure if it last two years instead of driving the truck, it’ll pay itself off.

If the car is good and cheap enough. If you go dump 70 -100k on a car then we'll you can buy alot of gas for that. Tough call. Since when is getting to work you yearly salary for the average working class? Tables have flipped big time. Going to be an expensive fishing year that's for sure.
 
Nanoose Bay Peteocan. Set a new record for filling the old f350, $207.50 of diesel 😳. Diesel is $.45/L premium to regular.

Anyone ever go to ADF Petroleum in Langford? Bet their prices have gone up but says the lowest diesel price, 2 days ago. I bet every station in Victoria is 2.30 litre or more.

Any have a better than BCAA discount (3cents at shell) for Esso or Petro Canada? I’ve seen promos for 7 cents off but with some weird journey cars and a credit card. The Co-op premium for diesel seems ridiculous right now and there is no diesel at Costco in Langford I believe.

You need a battery health readout on a used EV, odometer reading is less important. A quick assessment is to read its range in km at 100% charge and compare that to official range when new (Google it). More accurate figure can be had with an OBD2 dongle and a free app.

Gen 2 Nissan Leaf or a Chevy Bolt are both good choices for commuter car.

I’m bringing my Bluetooth obd2 reader. Some of the cars I’m gonna look at have way less range compared to battery percentage than others so I’m staying away from those. Example is, one has 143 km range at 62% charge which sucks, and another has 158km range at 45% charge. I know which one I’m picking out of those comparables.
 
lol EV really ?
i just bought a 2014 3 row SUV for $7K. Add in $7K of full engine and tranny overhaul and electronics replacement and its like new for $14K. thats a lot of gas which can be bought compared to the price of an EV and i get 600Km range in 3 minutes.

there are plenty of reasons to buy an EV. saving money is not one of them.
 
I agree you can buy tons of good gas cars fro cheap but you can buy used EV's for 7k and 14k. You don't even have to waste minutes driving to a gas station, plug in every night at home in 3 minutes and you get enough charge for most commutes on 120v. Great ones with long range, up to date safety features and AWD are about 30k used, still under warranty, when bought out of the states including WA.

Lots of reasons to go EV, lots of reason to go gas. Like sail boats and power boats, except EV's can be way faster and have better tech....getting of track. Don't want Admin to bring down the hammer on me.

Which by OBD2 are you using? Let us know what model you land on.
