So I did a quick look at the gas tax – it’s $0.184/gallon (a bit more for diesel).

The math says a driver would need to buy around 707 gallons of gas to pay the federal government$130. If we assume you’re filing 15 gallons of gas each time, this would mean you would need to fill up the car about 47 times. Basically, you need to fill up on an almost weekly basis.

So yeah if you own an EV and work from home or are retired, this is definitely unfair. A tiered system would make more sense (e.g., annual miles driven), but you would need some evidence to prove what you owed.

This was a wild thing to see at my local Costco.

Most revenue for federally funded road repairs is collected through diesel and gasoline taxes, which EVs do not pay.

TIL gas is taxed at both the state and federal level. It makes sense for EVs I suppose, but I’m not sure a flat fee is the best approach. The article seems to indicate there were a lot of higher options being thrown around. I wonder how many gallons of gas would $130 equate to.

A freshly shaved face + clean sheets is such a great experience.

I’m curious about it, but I’m not sure rogue-like bullet hell games are my jam.

I feel like I can hear the Technology Connections guy take a deeeeep inhale and a long exhale.

My old Wemo smart plugs. Constantly lost connection and the app was so useless for resolving issues.

When they announced they were stopping support this year, I was wondering what they considered support beforehand. Also, there’s a class action lawsuit because of that.

Ouya

Whoa, deep cut

The city clerk’s office should have all the options if you swing by.
