.

Apparently if I buy a plug in hybrid with a battery range of say 50 miles and a burner range of 33 miles to a gallon...this equates to 185mpg..

So I charge the car and put 1gallon of fuel in.....by my calcs if I'm lucky I do 83 miles.....

First extended drive since replacing the turbo, I'm very happy with these numbers! This was in the Outback XT, no passengers or cargo, AC running, minor elevation changes over a round trip.

This vehicle is rated for 19 city/24 highway, for reference.

Price rises because demand exceeds production.

Production drops because of embargo but demand grows due to goods production demand in post covid era (and needed to keep the debt growth lundry machine running)

People asking lower prices while keeping their consumption means investing into fuel production.

The winners are the remaining oil companies (look at their benefits) selling oil with huge margin.
