Here’s the refined chart showing inflation-adjusted fuel prices in the U.S. from 1960 to 2024, in constant 2023 dollars. This chart reflects major historical fluctuations, including the oil crises of the 1970s, the lower prices in the late 1980s, and the recent stability around $3 to $4 per gallon.

Oh look!!! Another PERFECT CARFAX!!!
This HAS to be a perfect car!!!

Looks like Toyota is increasing the pricing of it's 2025 car line up by nearly 1500 to 2000 per car. Neat.
Meanwhile Teslas are about 30% less than they were 3 years ago.
Why is this?
Because EV's are cheaper to make as they scale out, like any electronic item. Internal combustion cars are far more complex and far more expensive to make.

They cost nearly the same when new.

Spec for Spec, a base Toyota RAV4 is worth $5000 more than a base Hyundai Tucson after 8 years.

At 14 years, the RAV4 is worth $3000 more and will still have about 10 more years of service life to it...they Hyundai is unlikely to make it this far, but if it did, it's on its last leg.

Why, on Earth, would you buy a Hyundai?
