Tariffs...what to make of them.

How would they do that? Is that a function of their new "smart" meters? 30-some years ago, my house was set up for off-peak metering. There was a second meter that I believe only had my water heater on it. Supposedly the idea was to help ensure a more consistent load on their generators at night. Got a rate discount on the second meter.

My house is still set up for PECO to do that, but they stopped that program over a decade ago. It was nice... I would usually do laundry at night.

Speaking of EVs... it looks like the Aptera is inching closer to actual production... man... I wanted one of these so much 20 years ago when it was first teased and I was commuting 100 miles/day... But I just don't have a use for one now.



Where would I put my bike?

This week is likely to be a wild one for the markets...

honest question tho, at what point would you change your daily habits because of the cost of gas?

$5 a gallon? $7? $10?

Look for the return of "fuel surcharge" to your receipts soon.

$5 - probably not. $7 to 10 might make me consider if the trip is really necessary.

Back to using bike for 5-10 errands. No more snow please....

Start stealing my wife’s BMW for ski trips if it got to $7. Though that might also get me to replace my Suburban. Too bad every other vehicle I want gets shit mileage too.

Just paid 75 cents more per gallon than last week. If I shopped I probably could have cut that down to 50. Hurts more with a 32 gallon tank. On the bright side, the guy at the gas station closest to Allaire cleaned both windows.
