No one averages 70 mph on a cross-country trip. It is hard to do 50 mph. You run into unforeseen traffic jams and accidents.

The war in the Ukraine and the cutting off of oil and gas to Europe are what "manipulated" the price of gasoline (which is coming down recently). Oil and gas prices are controlled by global conditions - not by anyone in the US.

Nonsense. I have never flushed or changed injectors and I have never had a car where this was a recommended maintenance procedure. I have never changed any items in the smog control system. I have never changed a catalytic converter. Starter batteries do need to be replaced every 3-5 years. Antifreeze is typically good for about 5-10 years. The antifreeze that is used to control the temperature of an EV battery will also need periodic replacing.

It was never open. Would have taken two or more years to finish. It was tar oil. The dirtiest most expensive stuff to produce, and refine, and all for export. Would not have made a jot of difference to the oil/gas price and shortage today, even if construction had continued. Covid and lack of world demand, reduced sales and production. Post Covid, big demand, and world wide shortages. The market rules! |

In general, the time lost and extra energy for idling are the INCREASED costs of traffic jams that are increasing due to the lack of additional LANES, which appear to be held up by a lack of transportation funding. And the population growth is greater than the growth of road maintenance money. The US is being penny-wise and dollar-foolish! |
