AAA Gas Prices VS Altstore

Your back-of-napkin calculations must assume values for the price of gas and the price of electricity. If, like in CA, gas is $5.46/gallon (ref. https://gasprices.aaa.com/) and electricity is $0.19/kWh (ref. https://www.electricchoice.com/electricity-prices-by-state/) then the equation looks very different from if gas is $4.74/gallon and electricity is $0.33/kWh like HI. - Source: Hacker News / 20 days ago
