It will only get worse. Oil hitting $200 a barrel is no longer considered "far-fetched" by some analysts, though it is not yet the consensus forecast.
Always likes cars and am mechanically inclined. Started out with used cars. Did all simple, medium repairs and saved a bundle over the years. Did good in school and college. Got a good job and was able to move on to the new vehicles. Had to have two vehicles then. Had to travel a lot for work which always found was a pleasure. Investments did very well easy enabling an early retirement, now running over a couple decades. All driving now is mainly pleasure. Life is good and fun.
Started leasing years ago when still working. All leases can easily be tailored to your driving needs from low to high mileage use and were and are still attractive. This way vehicle is always under full bumper to bumper warranty. No need for extended warranty which you need nowadays if you buy and hold onto vehicles. Vehicles today are far more complex than before costing far more to repair.
My first EV was solid and fairly straight forward, cost < 30K if purchased. Leased it instead. Second leased EV does a heck of lot more and is basically a computer of wheels. You can talk to it and it responds like the computer on Star Trek did to Scottie! Drives itself pretty well with adaptive cruise control. Like I said the new toys, are amazing. Vehicles have really come along great from the past.
Can still drive around all I want with no problems since NOT being impacted by climbing gas prices due to Felon 47’s half baked policies and brain farts. All done as constant deflections away from the Trump-Epstein Files. As far as Oil goes, the Oil Cartels can go drink their Oil! Don’t need it anymore! Nice being totally free from them.
