PunkTheFunk 125,733 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Good, it's about time we did something. I don't mind paying higher prices for gasoline if it means we're saving the environment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind paying higher prices for gasoline if it means we're saving the environment. I mean I don't think an extra 4 cents a litre is gonna save the environment. Higher prices do nothing for the environment if we're still gonna consume carbon just the same But by the time it hits full price by 2022 who knows... By then it might be enough to convince more ppl to go electric Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
