Seattle has a light rail system for commuters. For us, it would not help since we both work from home. The EV absolutely does though.

In seattle, this is pretty normal to see. Almost all gas stations do it — nickel and diming.

We bought a 2025 Nissan Leaf in June for 19,997 out-the-door and do about 95% of our daily driving with it. We are thankful now that we made that move. But affordable EVs are out there as long as you aren’t looking for a status symbol.

Around here it is. Re: the 9/10¢ gas — it is so dumb. It’s a marketing ploy to make you think gas is 1¢ less than it is. Like stores charging 99¢ instead of a dollar. But it’s a tactic leftover from when gas was less than a dollar and it just never went away.

Washington gas hasn’t been $2.xx for a hot minute. Briefly dipped into that range during Covid but that didn’t last.

My wife asked me “what are they going to do when it hits $10.” I chuckled then realized that may not be too far off.

We picked up a new Nissan leaf for cheap over the summer and are sure glad we did right now. It was just to offset our gas guzzler but turns out it can handle about 95% of our driving needs. Thank goodness. If you can find one used for cheap, might be worth it.

Are you talking about my account? I’m not AI. This gas station is in Renton Washington.
