Right... that's about what I imagine someone fighting against cashless is like. You actually pay for gas in cash and you don't have a smartphone with Internet.

Kind of ironic that you're excited about EVs, though.

"Excited" isn't really the word. It's more that I acknowledge the inevitable. Even if we ignore the damage done by burning it, the world supply of gasoline is finite, and the extraction and refining process is not only messy, polluting, and making many parts of the world beholden to countries with bad human rights records, but also has chokepoints—a relatively small number of large refineries—that are increasingly at risk as the climate gets worse. Better to get off it before we're forced to do so one way or the other.
