backstory is that i try to fill up my tank more when gas prices are at a low and less as prices go up to make my long term average cost per gallon lower.

now given current events, and empirical reality, gas has only been going up and will continue to go up. we could assume different curves(only constraint being that price per gallon goes up as time goes forward), but if you buy your gas now you will spend less money then you have if you bought it tomorrow, day after, or week down the road. my estimate is that it will be month minimum before it gets cheaper.

now that I have put this out there into the world you should fill up asap, I already filled up before making this post and other people will come up with this idea independently of me.

    This seems to happen every four years. Someone starts a war in the Middle East, and gas prices go up. People have a short memory. Gas prices will go back down, probably after the midterms if sanity returns. And then everyone will run out and buy a new gas guzzling SUV again.

    Meanwhile, used EVs are very competitively priced. 🤷‍♂️

      Lol they say Time a flat circle but I expect it to period to be more than 4 years. Lol

      I really remember gas prices going up under push after Iraq, post covid vaccine, and now. Maybe Obama had little bumps in gas prices? I know Obama did drone strikes in middle east.

      Yeah EVs are gonna take the fuck off real soon because this is actually an oil shortage similar to the Carter administration.
