Denmark’s energy minister called on citizens to reduce their energy use amid the ongoing Middle East conflict.
Oil prices jumped to over $100 a barrel on Thursday, raising fears of rising inflation.
“If it is not strictly necessary to drive the car, then don’t do it,” the minister stressed to Danish citizens.
I mean - sure, if you make the freaking public transport at least a decent option, mister minister. When it costs twice as much as a car, and takes twice as much time to get to work then you can fuck off with your sanctimonious pleading. I don’t drive the car because I like to.
Do you have numbers to backup the twice as expensive as driving claim?

Sure you need to own a vehicle to live outside of a city so it’s a cost you have to incur, but you have to incur much more costs the more you use it.
The maintenance is part of the cost per km. Almost every aspect of maintenance is directly related to how much the vehicle is used, and idk about you but after a considerable amount of km I spend more on maintenance than on fuel. And there is of course the cost of the vehicle itself, which also deteriorates as you accumulate kilometers.
