[QUOTE="metalheadjoe, post: 8766486, member: 581422"] I don't know the price per kilowatt hour, but that's far less relevant than the price of gas. I don't have the option to live in a more efficient house to save electricity. I don't have different grades of electricity to choose between. I can't save significantly on my power bill by driving five minutes to a different power company. I don't have to weigh whether to put contaminants (ethanol) or additives in my home's electrical system when I pay my electric bill. You forgot to mention your polarized glasses... I'm sure you always wear them to make this more plausible. I chuckled at this. There are still many factors to determine which grade of gas you buy and to impact your overall consumption. Commission-based salesmen must love you. What "narrative" is enforced by looking at gas prices? Sounds like you're the one trying to fit a narrative. Life is all about cost and reward. I'm going to buy gas anyway, yes, but I can do a lot to affect how much I use and how much I spend on it. Cars and engines are a hobby of mine, so I likely have more fluctuation that most. Some reasons I look at gas prices: Gasoline or gas/ethanol? Should I drive my Explorer or my big block? How tidy should I keep the lawn? Snowblow or shovel? Should I take my work pickup home or drive my own vehicle? (Work buys gas for work pickup, but I prefer to drive my own vehicles). Should I adjust my driving style to save fuel? This post has turned into a novel, but the last thing I'll mention is Costco consistently has gas around forty cents cheaper per gallon than other gas stations in my area. That alone covers the membership cost for me. [/QUOTE]
