    I don't think I can go back to gas vehicle due to fuel costs

    Except that batteries are lasting much longer than that, whether or not you are able to wrap your head around it. We’ve talked about it recently, here: https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/ev-batteries-are-defying-expectations-after-hundreds-of-thousands-of-miles.408624/ So, you’ve...

    I don't think I can go back to gas vehicle due to fuel costs

    So, about 0.40/kWh plus a $26 connection charge? 683 kWh is a pretty modest usage, but your usage with the swamp cooler in the summer has to be close to triple that in order to get the bills you’re seeing. If you can’t beat them on the generation side (solar) can you measure the current draw...

    Folks - I apologize but there is a misunderstanding going on here - please allow me time to resolve it, and then we can resume the discussion. Thanks, Astro

    ENEOS Import Model S CVT Fluid

    My comprehension is just fine - you cannot complain about other people criticizing you and then impugn another’s comprehension without coming across as a hypocrite. Which you just did. People aren’t attacking you - they disagree with your point. But going after my reading comprehension, is...

    ENEOS Import Model S CVT Fluid

    Wait - so, AMSOIL being willing to warranty the performance of their fluid - is proof that it doesn’t work? That’s the most backward argument I can imagine. If they knew it didn’t work - they wouldn’t sell it. Nobody is going to sell something they know fails and then warranty it. That’s...

    I don't think I can go back to gas vehicle due to fuel costs

    @Chris142 - you are one of the best candidates for solar I have ever seen. You get a lot of sun. You have high electric bills. You see very little rain. At that cost of electricity, your payback may be in as little as four years. You owe it to yourself, and to your wallet, to at least explore...

    In-N-Out shooting in Twin Falls, Idaho

    I know the restrictions because I have filled out many ATF form 4473. I’ve read through the form many times. There’s nothing disingenuous about citing existing law. That is our existing law. We have over 20,000 federal, state, and local gun laws in the United States. That’s not an...

    In-N-Out shooting in Twin Falls, Idaho

    Then, let’s be plain - it is a political trope that guns are more easy to buy than a book - that’s a direct quote from a former president and it was completely false. We prohibit persons who use marijuana, have misdemeanor convictions for domestic violence, felony convictions, are under age...

    In-N-Out shooting in Twin Falls, Idaho

    Functionally universal availability of firearms? That’s not new. Nor is it true. We’ve had nearly 100 years of increased restrictions and regulations on the purchase. Those regulations, national, state, and local, still exist. Have you bought a firearm recently? Or is this just a...

    This Bring A Trailer car had $44K worth of repairs done to get it ready to sell

    What he spent, and what it’s worth, ain’t exactly the same.

    What $2.11M buys you in Goleta, CA

    The lot is 5,200 square feet. The lot. Not the house. While I love Telluride, that’s a bit overpriced.

    Micro-Air EasyStart Flex - HVAC soft start kit

    I have already answered that question - I have a 35 year old tablesaw motor, 220v, which runs great. No start up issues. My question was intended to be rhetorical - if this helps, why shouldn't I use it on similar motors? I solved my potential HVAC motor problems by getting new condensers...

    In-N-Out shooting in Twin Falls, Idaho

    20,000 or so gun laws in this country. One cannot reasonably call that "zero". Perhaps another approach besides restricting the gun is in order.

    Do you miss the days of Everything PTFE / Teflon? Any positive snake oil experiences?

    2026Tacoma - you demand proof that it does harm. What proof do you have that it does good? Anything at all that meets the standard you have requested?

    Micro-Air EasyStart Flex - HVAC soft start kit

    So, if this start up load is such a problem - why not have the same thing for my tablesaw? My Jointer?

    Oil for my Honda eu3200i ?

    Well, I just bought a jug of Mobil 1 0W-40 FS for my Florida generator… so… the best 30, might just be a 40. 😉 Also, unless you were asking a particular question from a particular sponsor, this is more of an OPE question, so I’m moving the Thread there

    Toyota Tundra used- 2019 and 2024-- same dealer in Arizona- look at the price differential

    The fact that both trucks have sold, says a lot about the current truck market

    Do you miss the days of Everything PTFE / Teflon? Any positive snake oil experiences?

    It is possible that your dealer does not have your best interest at heart, and merely wishes to separate you from just a bit more of your money than they would get for a simple oil change. In the absence of any proof of benefit from this stuff, I would keep that money in my pocket. You were...

    Toyota Tundra used- 2019 and 2024-- same dealer in Arizona- look at the price differential

    If you’re going to do a fair comparison, you need more accurate numbers. MPG, fuel tank size, etc. I get 17 unloaded. 10 pulling a 7,500 # car/trailer combo at 65 mph. 12 at 65 mph pulling a lower drag, lighter combo, like this. Only diesel will do better with that much weight and drag...
