  • I prefer going back to the 60s and 70s, but when you do that fule efficiency drops my a huge amount, to have something affordable to drive regularly you’ll need a 4 cylinder from that time period.

    Of course I only really use a vehicle for hauling things, so it has to be a V8, but on the bright side the big trucks that could haul massive loads from back then are actually smaller than the “Never leave the pavement, and if you carry more than groceries your warranty is void” trucks they sell now.

    I was far below the average gas use when I had that big F-550 than the American average because I used it for what it was needed for, or to drive down the highway and park so I could pull out my bike and ride from there once I was past the “Oh god, oh god, we’re all gonna die!” stretch of road.


  • This is the same kind of “I KNOW BETTER!” fuckery Europeans call American tourists out on.

    Remember that the United States is larger than the entierity of Europe if you don’t count Russia, and comperable if you do.

    YMMV, and I’d wager most visitors are in ideal locations more often than not, so you see the best we have to offer… Unless it’s Florida, of course.

    I also spend $100 a month for internet that often caps at 100k, that’s the speed of a dial-up shotgun modem from the 90s, tell me how your gigabit fiber in your hotel is cheaper and faster because the city you are in must reflect the conditions of the entire nation.
