In the US, if gas prices *weren't* subsidized, gas would cost $15-20/gallon. That would be 3.64 - 4.86 euro per liter.
Nah m8, unless you really want the sound and rumbling of the engine, you should consider driving electric. I don't care which brand (and you can clearly afford some nice rides), but I think that's the simplest way to future-proof your transportation. Gas will eventually become a luxury, unfortunately. We'll definitely see the transition happen during our lifetimes.
I have a lease electric m8, Peugeot.
It's good to have options. How are you liking the Peugeot? I don't see those often in the US.I have a lease electric m8, Peugeot.
doesn’t compare to my rumblin ford transit camper van
also: as you well know, I don’t trust big gov in cahoots with big buss and their “utopian plans for the entire planet” so I’ll remain as independent of that as I possibly can for as long as I can A
The E208 is ok.. it doesn’t drive/ pull up as fast as a gasoline or diesel and can do about 200 km on a single charge.. but it gets the job done for home to work &groceries.
You will need to learn organic chemistry and petrochemical chemistry and learn about distillation. Have you thought about what you are going to do with the byproduct? Which I have looked up that it is Glycerol. Combine Nitric and Sulfuric acid with the Glycerol and you have yourself a explosion.
Over here they have a fuel excise has increased to 49.6 cents per litre which is a tax on fuel and they are not subsided they are taxed here in Australia. The octane they have is 91, 95, 98 (high octane for high performance cars), Ethanol (slightly cheaper fuel), and Diesel. My car doesn't like Ethanol. They used to have Leaded Petrol but they banned that in 2002 according to google and Algeria was the last country to completely ban leaded petrol in 2021.
yeah but you have to be an absolute moron to actively mix those two with glycerine m8...like. how would i go about doing that, accidently topple them in (assuming I have them nearby) with the lids opened up at the same time lol?
But what do you do with the bi product if there is any? Do you chuck away the top stuff you scoop up?
just throw it away m8, plenty of chemical disposal points where he lives (and where I live aswell)
Another issue is that there is a shortage for cooking oil as well. But I think over here in Australia there is only 1 place where I can dispose any chemical items.
I've enjoyed the gas vehicles I've driven whenever I need to drive them (except for Uhaul vans and trucks. Those suck!) I kind of want to get a V8 Ford Mustang later on as a fun weekend car or for longer trips.The E208 is ok.. it doesn’t drive/ pull up as fast as a gasoline or diesel and can do about 200 km on a single charge.. but it gets the job done for home to work &groceries.
I actually have around 25 panels on my roof so yeah I can practically drive for free, but it’s not the convinience that makes me still own the diesel transit I have… plus like said, i can just make diesel in my garage if I want too
to me a car is 3 things:
- radical freedom of movement
- radical privacy
- utility in transport
given the trend on how new (ev) cars are being churned full of tracking, listening and correcting software and given the still sub-par range (couple of jerrycans and I can drive all the way to Casablanca without a gas station stop) I have a better feeling owning that then say, a polestar or Tesla when crisis comes round the corner
might still actually buy (instead of company lease) one on the side eventually though, First big investment is going to be the house again
- wall batteries (80 % energy independence)
- pallet or wood furnace with TEG's
- extension of the garage and a seperate bedroom on top of that.
How do you deal with the high flash point for vegetable oil? Petrol has a flash point at -43C and whilst cooking oil has a flash point 204C
? How is that a problem my dude, the mean temperature in my garage doesn't exceed 30C lol
Correct me if I am wrong but isn't flash point to part where the engine combust so if it's non diesel engine then it may not work. I might have to figure out a way to convert my car into a bio diesel.
It's always weird hearing about diesel engines in non-trucks. We just don't have diesel cars here at all.
Yeah I thought so, by the way this is interesting website comparing countries about the cost of living. Not surprised to see Switzerland and America and Australia increasing in prices and some asian and african countries are in the green.
