I shouldna had a V8

 Don’t get me wrong - I love a v8 engine. What I don’t like is putting gas in it. With my commute, I fill up every week. My tank holds 22 gallons. That’s over 70 dollars a week in gas or around 300 a month in gas. That’s a lot to spend on gas. When I was driving 16 miles a day it didn’t matter how much money I was spending on gas. When I drive 56 miles a day, the cost of gas is a consideration. 

It’s no secret potato head is hostile to fossil fuels. It’s no secret decisions made by his administration increase the cost of gas.  They want gas to be expensive so you’ll buy a stupid electric car.  The administration is too stupid to realize that an electric car just moved the carbon production away from the car and moved it to electric power production plants.  But whatever. I’m thinking too much. 

I think it’s time to consider getting rid of the Lexus and moving towards a car with a v6 engine to increase miles driven per gallon and reduce the cost of filling the tank. The Lexus is a heavy car. It’s a vault on wheels. Something that weighs less would be more economical to set in motion. 

What s nice about the Lexus is it’s paid for. No car payment. There’s something to be said for that.  So is it about more efficiency or spending less each week.  I can sell the car for at least what I paid for it.  But I won’t be able to buy something more economical that I’d be willing to drive without a car payment for plus the cost of filling the tank. What’s a guy to do?

I’d rather spend more money for a more fuel efficient car and less on gas. That really doesn’t make any cents.  Guess who was the short sighted idiot??!!
