So it's bullshit.
Assuming your Buick Century is the last model made (2005) your fuel gauge looks like this one



As it has no numbers on it at all, its impossible to know with any detail whatsoever if you are getting better or worse economy or range from one to another.

And since you are driving in Montreal, you know the seasons change your driving habits. You use the air conditioner and summer tires in the summer and the heater and winter tires in the winter. Unless you are tracking all of that, and have an accurate detailed fuel gauge, you have no idea what your actual efficiency is.

I'm sorry to say but you are probably paying too much for your energy, especially since you live in Quebec where electricity is the cheapest in North American. Next spring, you should consider getting a nice new electric car. Lots of companies are rolling out some really cool models in 2020. Ask any of them to let you test drive one for a day or so and you'll probably be convinced.

Congrats!!

I've been driving a volt too since about 2014. My next car which I hope to get next spring will be fully electric. I'm done with Gasoline too and so is my spouse. She's eyeballing the Tesla Model 3 and I'm going to be so jealous if she buys one.




Maybe, but not everyone is adopting electric cars (nor is it always a good idea). Companies that provide electricity are preparing however which is why there is more sources of electricity now such as wind and solar than there was 10 years ago.
Teslas around here are a dime a dozen. I was stopped at a light today and counted five around me. I have driven a bunch of Teslas... my friend sells them...and they are not like driving a regular gasoline car. They are sooooo much faster and the bang for the buck is enormous.

Do you think highways were a thing when cars first came around? how affordable and practical were gas powered cars at first?

Things get better and more practical with time and necessity.

So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
