Petrol prices now vary by 50c/l on any given day due to the marketing “price cycle” (aka “because we feel like it”), so it’s fairly heroic to attribute a 25c increase in a week to any particular cause, no?

Is this #winning?
Trains are a mess due to a broken down train earlier. I drove to Springwood, arrived just in time for a modified service, now a super-express, I’ll get to the city 15 minutes earlier than expected!

RE: @cloudhop@equestria.social

So many hot takes on this. Imagine if the reality was complex, and sits between the extremes of opinion? The world is changing faster than it ever has before, which is really tough. But it’s not going to stop changing because you don’t like it.

The maths: - I pay 8c/kWh for EV charging at home.

On those trips, it can cost as much as $10/100km or about 6L/100km. (It’s always less than this because I leave home full and return empty) #EV
