“EVs will replace ICEs!.
Wine Coolers will replace Beer!”

Perfect analogy.

Sales of gas cars might soon increase rapidly as folks fear being pushed into an electric car world. Sellers will perhaps increase the prices knowing that folks are panic buying. Perhaps not, but it seems to be the writing on the wall for now.

We have had THREE new gas stations built in our area in the last two years. Population of 18,347. Another is being built in our local town. Population 3,790 None have electric chargers. Nearest electric charging station is thirty miles away.

That tells me gasoline will be around for quite a while.

Interesting that sixty years ago when our population was 400, we had eight (8) full service gas stations.

A motorist found themselves in a rollover...

They must have been a female or a male pretending to be a female.

Biden has set Federal fuel efficiency standards so high that ICE vehicles will be no more than go-carts.
Under the proposed standards from the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration, fleet-wide fuel economy for new vehicles would be pushed close to 58 miles per gallon by 2032. That's up from the 49 mpg required by 2026 under the current iteration of the rules.

Thereby they've made EVs the only option.

Biden administration proposes new fuel economy standards, with higher bar for trucks

And they’re doing exactly that in some cities— zoning prohibitions on new or expanded gas stations. This, of course, an idea spawned in the deranged, infantile minds of EV driving libs who want others to suffer the same level of inconvenience they do.

This proves that US consumers are far more intelligent than government bureaucrats.

+++++++++++++

Not sure who said this originally, but as far as gubermint bureaucrats go, we would make a substantial improvement in the competency of congress if we picked the first 535 names out of any phone book and made them our “leaders”.

The quote was from William F. Buckley, Jr.

He “retired” from the CIA to lead the conservative movement.

We were played so badly.

I would agree if you said "the first 535 names picked randomly from any phone book ..." because I don't want to be lead by ANYONE whose last name begins with "A" or "B" ...

... now, of course, we know that ANYONE whose last name begins with "C" is pure leadership material ...

...

...

...

In the interest of full disclosure, it is just coincidence that my last name begins with "C" ...
