High gas prices will also drive more buyers to EVs, thinking they won't need to
buy fuel anymore. Electric rates will rise, gas will get cheaper. Though I'm
not sure that the supply of EVs is enough that this would be very noticable
right now. The EVs themselves will be expensive though!

I suspect this summer we'll see a decline in travel and an increase in sedan
sales. Ford and GM will, as usual, be left behind in sales due to their gamble

Gas prices will stabilize as demand decreases.

Heat rises, so it's not as bad as an uninsulated attic. But having a cold floor
(and hence, cold feet) can make the room *feel* colder than it is, and you will
lose some heat to the principle that heat conducts from warmer to colder
objects.

Go down to Home Depot, buy some insulation and get some of the day workers to
install it for you. I can’t believe there’s no insulation in a crawl
space/floor in a home that requires heat in the winter. That’s crazy.

Neither one of our houses has insulation under the floors and I can't
say I have heard of it being done around here. Might be a good idea though.

Like Floyd said, or batts with paper backing stapled to the joists, although
the second approach is less desirable because the paper backing can get damp
and fail, allowing the insulation to fall out.
With 12” joists, we got somewhere in the area of R-30 to R-40 of insulation in
the floors out
Batts in joist spaces with these little wire things that stick underneath the
batts between the joists every 2ft or so

How do you install insulation in the crawl space? Do they attach it under the
sun floor between the joists somehow?

Dimensional analysis calls BS. Closer to $2000 per _winter_, not month.
Or did you leave out something?

And make sure your home is as efficient as possible, too.
I’m not discounting the increase in fuel costs by any means, but a lot of times
people will only look at the direct expense (of fuel) rather than ways of
increasing efficiency.
For example, at the Flagstaff house we had an energy audit
Time to look into alternative heat sources.

Yep.
Let's say a semi gets 6 mpg. That semi travelling from a state that grows food
to a state that consumes food goes 1,200 miles. The fuel cost for that trip
went from $400
I haven't even received my refund from last year yet. What is going on at the
IRS these days? Did COVID create that much of a backlog?

Yep. This will be a hard pill to swallow. Wait till the already out of control
grocery prices starts shooting up due to out of control fuel prices.

So what about home heating oil? What happens next winter when I have to heat my
house? At this rate it is doubtful that prices will normalize by then and I go
through a full 250 gallon tank of oil during the winter and that’s keeping the
house at 60 degrees on average. If oil hits $8 per gallon

The increasing cost of food may bring the used car market to heel.
That and the child tax credit that has been dispensed on a monthly
basis, as opposed to getting a large tax return in March or
owd. The Ukrainians got screwed infinitely worse. It doesn't stop

Was stunned to pay $3.799 on Tuesday, then remembered Let's Go Putin.
Today it went up to 4.099, for Regular.
4.79 Diesel.
I never paid over $4 for 87 before.
Paid as high as 4.299 for Premium 10 years ago, and think I paid $4.55
or more in NY in March of 2012.
Yesterday crude was up
