Is this the right thread to be bragging about how wealthy you are?

I've gone full EV for a while already that I no longer care about gas price anymore. Now I just think all these increase in gas price is the gov't secret plot to switch everyone to EV.  | I still find EV's quite expensive. I don't do enough commuting to make it worth it. I'll take quite a long time to break even so I still find ICE is fine. But given I don't drive a very expensive ICE and it's not a gas guzzler, that helps.

Does anybody know where they sell that coloured gasoline for farm use? I need to know so I can avoid that area and don't accidentally buy it and put it in my car.

The Govt wont do ANYTHING... they're making so much off this DAILY.
There's $0.37/litre provincial tax on gas.
(That's a $0.27 fuel tax and a $0.10 carbon tax)
fuel tax includes MetroVan's 18.5 cent TransLink gas tax, and a 6.75 cent tax for roads and bridges and 1.75 cent tax for province's general revenue.

I know this is a car enthusiast site, but why would the provincial government do anything to relieve the pain?
The government is committed to net-zero GHG emissions by 2050. Transportation accounts for almost 40% of GHG emissions in BC. Mass adoption of EVs are going to be the way to get there... particularly as the province needs to keep people employed in the Peace River region by supporting the natural gas industry and a growing LNG export market.
If a global energy crisis is going to convince more regular folks to make the switch to EV, why would the government stand in their way?

Letting gas goes up to $3 and gov't doing nothing to relieve pain for the average citizen seems like a sure-fire way to lose seats next election. Most people in this province doesn't suddenly have tens of thousands dollars, on top of the already insane cost of living, to upgrade to a brand new EV. Like it or not, supporting the fight against climate change is a luxury for a lot of people.

Once again, I am baffled how we can get people to drive across the country to protest getting jabbed in the arm, and yet we are completely pacified to put pressure on our local governments to impose measures to calm down the price of a commodity that affects us all.
We Canadians are a funny bunch.

I wonder if gas hits $3, would that be enough to force a majority of the population off the road and into transit and we'd have less traffic in the long-run?

The poor will start using transit.
The rich will switch to EV.
For people that can commute by bike, that's good too.
Green city FTW..

I wouldn’t mind transit, if they actually had an actual network that got people places, somewhat timely. (Look at any metro in Asia). Bus network from the 50s and rapid transit test route from the 80s doesn’t really cut it if we’re supposed to be a metropolitan
Imo a large number of drivers would quit driving if it wasn’t a necessity to get to places by car

I'm from port moody and everyone drove 20 year old civics and rangers worth 2000$, minus the few odd kids rolling around in their daddies 2 year old Audis
Kids today don't even know what a roll up window is
Kids in 10 years won't know what a gasoline car is

Nothing like $2.24.9/L for 91 when your 5.7L V8 needs a fill. Sheeeeeesh, that was a tough pill to swallow. Last fill was under $2.00/L a couple weeks ago. Felt like a boss grabbing 87 for $189.9/L yesterday for the Tundra while realizing that if I had of acted a couple days sooner it would have been $1.83.9/L.
I'm all for defending ICE's but this shit is bananas.
