Laundromats & Gas Stations

Only a nostalgia buff could love the experience of a Laundromat. I will grant you that they did serve for some as a “Mix and Match Dot Com” where true love was found along with the odd homeless single sock. In the romantic sense, Laundromats are far superior to gas stations.

Most of us cheered the day when we had ascended in life to the convenience of having our very own personal washer and dryer. We could do laundry whenever we wanted, as much as we wanted, in the security of our home. We promised ourselves in silence, to never go back to the Laundromat.

Gas stations are just like Laundromats, a mandatory drudgery that needs to be undertaken once a week during which you get to spend $60-$75 for the privilege of sharing with your community, a gas pump.

If only the price of gasoline were as stable as the prices at the Laundromat. The smell of soap far more pleasant than that of oil and gasoline. The chance for romance...at the gas station, forget it.

Yesterday, the lines at Costco for gas

Following on the heels of the great inventions; the personal washer and dryer, now emerging is the personal fueling station.

The personal fueling station is installed in your garage allowing you to fill up the car in the safety and security of your own home. You can fuel whenever you want, as much as you want. When you ascend in the convenience of your life thus having your own personal fueling station, you promise yourself in silence, to never go back to a gas station.

Once installed your own personal fueling station cost you $0.75 or less to drive 25 miles. If you’re really adventurous, you can make the fuel on the rooftop of your garage via sunshine for $0.40 to drive 25 miles, 1/10th the cost of buying an equivalent gallon of gasoline at a gas station. This cost is essentially fixed in price for the future.

How much does this personal fueling station cost? Far less than the average cost of a washer and dryer.

What do I have to do to prepare for a personal fueling station? The hookup is similar to a washer or dryer.

The gasoline car and gas station are beginning to look very antiquated.

Cheers
