Hey everyone,Just wanted to put this on your radar so nobody gets caught off guard at the pumps next month.The temporary federal gas tax holiday is officially wrapping up on

Labour Day (September 7, 2026).

Starting the next morning (September 8), the federal excise tax is going back to normal.

The Raw Numbers:Regular Gas: Going UP by 10¢ a litre.

Diesel: Going UP by 4¢ a litre.What this actually costs you per fill-up:If you drive a sedan/small car (~50L tank): It’s going to cost about $5.00 more each time.If you drive an SUV or Truck (~100L tank): It’s going to cost about $10.00 more each time.

Remember this will affect the price of your food as well.

You won't see it because gas companies switch to a cheaper blend in the winter and demand usually drives down the gas prices

However, you will be taxed and this is what governments love to do. Tax you and mis use the money. Isn't that money better in your pocket than slimy government officials

Does anyone here with a MY RWD have recommendations for floor mats? I was told by another owner that the Costco Phantom Mats (which are the same as TuxMat but less expensive) don't fit. I was originally planning to buy them because of the easy return policy, but now that I've heard they might not fit, I'm back to square one.

I'd love to know what mats you ended up buying. I'm open to suggestions from Amazon, Temu, AliExpress, or anywhere else, and I'd especially appreciate hearing how they are holding up over time.

Thanks in advance for your responses!

I'm considering PPF for my Tesla, but as a daily driver, I'm unsure if it's a worthwhile investment. While the DIY kits seem like a reasonable deal, I lack the skills, patience, and time to apply it properly—I can barely put a screen protector on my phone without issues!

I’d love to hear your experiences: Have you installed PPF yourself or gone the professional route? If you did it, what made you choose that path? If you skipped it, what was your reasoning?
