So I’m thinking of getting one…

Hi everyone I live in Southern California and there’s a fuel station .2 miles away from my home… I literally pass it everyday on my way home from work… anyways… it seems everyone hates it but besides the fuel issue… are they really that bad?… I don’t want electric since I live in an apartment and want a gasoline alternative… so just curious on owners experience… good or bad … even if you just want to rant about it is fine …
