I have owned 4 Corvettes. All purchased from dealers. My experience was that private owners were just a little too proud of their "babies' and the price reflected that.

I've done better with dealers where it was just another car. It might as well have been a Corolla. They just want it off the lot.

I've had my 2006 for 7 years. I've only replaced a battery and tires.

Very true. A used one is worth more because it’s right there in front of you, ready to drive. A new one is months away on back order. They are everywhere out here and the infrastructure to support them is popping up like weeds.

Re: How much longer will we have Gasoline for Our

The current CO levels are actually 416ppm.

The more we overshoot what natural processes can remove in a given year, the faster the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide rises. In the 1960s, the global growth rate of atmospheric carbon dioxide was roughly 0.8± 0.1 ppm per year. Over the next half century, the annual growth rate tripled, reaching 2.4 ppm per year during the 2010s. The annual rate of increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide over the past 60 years is about 100 times faster than previous natural increases, such as those that occurred at the end of the last ice age 11,000-17,000 years ago.

Something that I think about when reading this. I am pretty sure that the figures from 11,000-17,000 years ago are somehow calculated as I can bet there is no documentation from that time. Actual science requires testing, observation and documentation. Otherwise, it is just faith. I only put faith in one. And it is not a human making educated guesses.

This is based on science, not faith, and science is not based on guesses. I'm thinking the figures from 11,000-17,000 were given purely as a general example to relate to the more recent time where the figures are known and relevant. The point I got from it is the multiples gained since 1960

Re: How much longer will we have Gasoline for Our

Too many folks don't seem to grasp the concept that "science" is based on theory, observation, and educated guesses, that's not the same as "facts"
Archaeology suggests that this planet has been through several ice ages.
So one might infer that something other than us "nasty polluters" of the last few decades are the absolute cause of the warming period that has always occurred between the ice ages.
One thing you can be sure of, some kind of tax isn't going to fix it.....

Just gong to post some links, I'm not going into discussion as it is frowned here.

What they say is 2050, but the WEF is setting sights on 2030.

Re: How much longer will we have Gasoline for Our

CO2 is measured in ice cores from Antarctica and glaciers. All water absorbs CO2 every lake and glass of water has CO2 in it not enough to carbonate the water but it reaches an equilibrium with the air . So they can pretty much be certain of co2 levels thousands of years ago .

"Climate change researchers are peering into the past in hopes of anticipating the future, but as a group of British scientists reported at a recent Royal Meteorological Society meeting, the historical record is far from an encouraging sign of the planet’s fate.

In fact, Jonathan Amos writes for BBC News, the last time Earth’s atmosphere contained the amount of carbon dioxide present today, Antarctica was a plant-covered oasis, sea levels were an estimated 10 to 20 meters higher, and global temperatures were an average of 2 to 3 degrees Celsius warmer. In the Arctic, summer temperatures were a full 14 degrees higher than they are now."

obviously not caused by those pesky gasoline cars....

Most likely volcanic activity . Earth's orbit does shift from time to time . Not saying human activity is 100% responsible but we are making it happen faster . More CO2 and countless millions of acres of forest cut for agriculture use over the past 100 years cant be a good thing . Ice ages can be caused by to much O2 ,large amounts of CO2 cause in nature without human interference the development of green plants even in the oceans . The earth swings from a warm lush tropical climate to an ice age . Plants die off co2 rises again warming the planet .

But I dont think that we will run out of gas or crude oil in my lifetime and maybe not in my children's. But as new technology comes along our reliance on it will be less . But it's got to be a slow process definitely not done in the timeframe some are suggesting . Who knows in 10 years everyone may have a Mr.Fusion on their Delorean.

Yeah I don't think so. They have been promising fusion power is just around the corner for the last 30 years. We still don't have it even in large scale. No way in 10 years you'll have a reactor in your car!

agree.......there is definitely a need for a sarcasm emoji
way to much money swapping hands in the big oil game to allow any kind of cheap energy to come to fruition

Exactly. Very well put.

Going by some peoples logic/panic these days, we had better all stop breathing soon or we’re gonna be dead. I remember them teaching us BS when I was in elementary/jr high school in the early/mid 90’s that by 2015 Florida was gonna be under water. Huh… I’ll be damned. I see that happened… These “climate scientists” don’t know their asses from a hole in the ground. Oil isn’t going anywhere and neither is gasoline for a good long while yet.

Send some of that 200 proof this way.


Plenty of gas available at this place. Just order the bean burrito. You won't be very popular about an hour later.

Damn good guesses. To compare the workings of science to "guesses" as we know it is very off base. A guess can be a hunch to a conclusion drawn from countless calculations, tons of comparative evidence, decades of research, by people who's lives are dedicated to correlating these guesses into factual conclusions. I think even more people don't grasp that science created about everything we use and the way of life we are living. You better believe that. It was science that figured out what crude oil is, things it could be used for, ways to get to it, and how to make gasoline from it. It is science that created machinery. It took some mighty good guess work to put people in a rocket ship to land on the moon and walk around, then come back to tell about it. They managed to guess how to have people living in a space station. I could go on about the guess work it must have taken to have cancer survivors, heart transplant survivors, and other health science, but shouldn't need to.

It was science that figured out what crude oil is, things it could be used for, ways to get to it, and how to make gasoline from it. It is science that created machinery. It took some mighty good guess work to put people in a rocket ship to land on the moon and walk around, then come back to tell about it. They managed to guess how to have people living in a space station. I could go on about the guess work it must have taken to have cancer survivors, heart transplant survivors, and other health science, but shouldn't need to.
It was mainly trial and error along with a lot of "guess work" that led to the creation/invention of most all these...my "guess" is they rarely got it right the first time...regardless of how much "science" was involved...
Gasoline was "incidentally" discovered during the development and manufacture of Kerosene, which was the go to petroleum fuel in the early days.

"Gasoline was initially discarded
Edwin Drake dug the first crude oil well in Pennsylvania in 1859 and distilled the oil to produce kerosene for lighting. Although other petroleum products, including gasoline, were also produced in the distillation process, Drake had no use for the gasoline and other products, so he discarded them. It wasn't until 1892, with the invention of the automobile, that gasoline was recognized as a valuable fuel. By 1920, 9 million vehicles powered by gasoline were on the road, and service stations selling gasoline were opening around the country. Today, gasoline is the fuel for nearly all light-duty vehicles in the United States."

"Science" tells us that there are two genders...look where that's gone
but everyone is entitled to their own opinion.....isn't that how it's SUPPOSED to work?

obviously not caused by those pesky gasoline cars....
The whole basis of that story was high CO2 levels bad, melting polar caps bad, rising sea levels bad. Ice age(s) there were mass extinctions of life on the planet once again not good. Of course cars are not the only factor when it comes to CO2 levels but the burning of fossil fuels do contribute. Just go to a crowded intersection and tell how pleasant it is to breath that air.

The ratio of carbon dioxide molecules found in the atmosphere reached Pliocene levels of 400 parts per million, or ppm, in 2015. Comparatively, Damian Carrington notes for the Guardian, carbon levels during the Industrial Revolution—when temperatures were an average of one degree Celsius cooler—hovered around 218 ppm.

As Metro’s Jeff Parsons observes, meeting chair Martin Siegert, a geophysicist and climate change scientist at Imperial College London, says there will be a “lag” before the most devastating effects of crossing this threshold come to light.

I went to Guatemala many times, several years ago. You have to fly in to Guatemala City before traveling to the outlying towns.
Every time I went, I literally thought I would choke to death on the fumes from all the cars and diesel buses before I could get out of the city.
