Alright, so one reason I bought the Mach-E is so I no longer have to go to the dirty gas station, but my wife and daughter didn't get the memo.
Tonight my wife says she needs a fill up to get to her brother's house and back home tomorrow. Mind you, we just went to his house on Saturday and I had to fill her SUV up then for $43. BTW, I think I've spent just a bit more energizing SMOKE. She indicated that she only had half a tank and I thought to myself what's the problem. Earlier in the day, she told me how "stupid people" were for running out to fill up their tanks because of the hacking of the pipeline. In my area, though, there are at least three stations completely out of gas. Well, I made the bad trade of dishes for gas.
When I get to my local grocery store which has a gas station in the parking lot, I find two lines of cars at least 10 deep on each side. This station has eight pumps and only four are working. After waiting a bit, I find myself in the number four spot. As I'm looking at the pumps, texting my friend about how awful this was, another car comes in from the street and pulls right behind one of the cars at the pump. He's approached by the next driver in the line and I can tell he's resistant even though she points to the line of cars. Someone that has just left the pump pulled over to confront him, as well as someone a couple of cars behind me. Obviously defiant, but did finally move.
When I get to the pump, I exchange pleasantries with my fellow pumper and laugh we laugh at the audacity of some people. I then remember that I have an EV and would have preferred to wash the dishes.
