How much is your local "Trump at the Pump Tax?"

The equivalent of $7.60US per US gal over here in Oz at the moment, $2.80lts AUD, it has been over $3 ltr. The Gen2 Prius gets used very little now since we bought an MG4 EV and charge for free from solar.
Not looking forward to the petrol costs when we finally get the Winnie back on the road to start travelling again. the V10 6.8 ltr drinks a ltr ever 2 kms, and things are a long way apart over here.

May 25, 2026 local Chevron premium $6.69, but rural, not major brand premium $7.40

 

That church is Episcopal, isn't it? Also not his brand. Gemini tells me they also favor the NRSV.

Church of England, it tells me, still may use the KJV "for traditional Choral Evensong and specific historic services", while generally having the NRSV (Anglicised Edition) at the lecterns, and perhaps even more commonly the NIV Anglicised Edition in the pews.

 

that's awesome. I wish the Teslas were more affordable. So does the car eventually compete with the Prius when you compare initial purchase cost and the better energy savings?

I know my Prius main battery replacement ($1500 15 yrs) paid for itself

Was the $9K battery covered under warranty?

 

The MG4 51kwh LFP battery version is claimed to get 405kms range (250 miles) but we live by the Murray River, so a lot of hills between us and Adelaide and 320kms return, but we arrive home with around 20% charge remaining, so we could get 385kms (240 miles) and that is mostly at 110km/h (70mph). We bought it new for $30,000AUD ($21,500USD) drive away, 12 mths rego and all other govt charges paid.

Pity the Cheeseburger in Chef won't allow them into your part of the world, even if it is smaller than Australia

Cheeseburger will expire naturally, and this one is under an employee contract if he doesn’t. Burger needs to be told once a week he is a temporary employee and everything he is using now doesn’t belong to him.

 

Yes, my mistake. Must have mentally crossed that with some Methodist news of a similar time.

(I became a non-believer long ago. But late in life, dad became a Methodist certified lay minister, so by osmosis I was refreshed on a number of recent church issues.)
