A farewell to Ozzy, Coke's sugar high, another vaccine shake-up: The week in review
RFK shakes up vaccines again Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. took another step toward overhauling the nation's vaccine policy when he approved the removal of thimerosal, a mercury-based preservative, from all flu vaccines despite widespread agreement in the medical community that the preservative is safe. Kennedy signed off on a recommendation from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, a panel he replaced with his own appointed members in June, to stop distributing vaccines containing thimerosal, which has long been targeted by anti-vaccine groups. An operatic honor for Melania Republican lawmakers are working on a Kennedy Center production of their own: renaming the center's Opera House to the 'First Lady Melania Trump Opera House.' The House Appropriations Committee, whose spending bill funds the iconic performing arts venue in Washington, voted 33-25 for the change. Lawmakers have already agreed to spend $256.7 million on improvements to the center sought by President Donald Trump, who ousted much of the Kennedy Center's board after he took office and appointed himself chairman. He has criticized some of the center's performances and said in one visit that he 'never liked 'Hamilton' very much.' A sweet twist to the Cola wars Cane sugar: It's the real thing. A Coca-Cola made with cane sugar − not high-fructose corn syrup − is coming to the United States this fall, the company announced, just like the Coke you find overseas, including Mexico. (The long-running debate over which tastes better, U.S. Coke or Mexican Coke, has been a fierce one). The news doesn't come as a compete surprise; President Donald Trump had made a case for cane sugar Coke on social media in mid-July − 'You'll see. It's just better!' Also, not to be outdone, Pepsi announced it is launching Pepsi Prebiotic Cola this fall, in Original Cola and Cherry Vanilla, containing 5 grams of cane sugar and 3 grams of prebiotic fiber. Ozzy Osbourne, the 'Prince of Darkness,' is dead The heavy metal world has lost one of its most beloved characters, Ozzy Osbourne, at age 76, only weeks after reuniting with his original band, Black Sabbath, in England for a farewell show. Osbourne, who was infamous for his hard living (and for biting the head off a bat), exploded into stardom in a solo career and later branched into reality TV with MTV's 'The Osbournes' in the early 2000s. In 2020, he revealed he had Parkinson's disease. In a just-announced new memoir, 'Last Rites,' arriving Oct. 7, Osbourne says: 'Look, if it ends tomorrow, I can't complain. I've been all around the world. … I've done good, and I've done bad. But right now, I'm not ready to go anywhere.' Remembering Ozzy Osbourne: Life on the 'Crazy Train': The metal icon through the years All bets for 2026 are on Scottie Scheffler Scottie Scheffler, fresh off a dominating win at the British Open July 20, is at the top of his game, and you can expect he'll be there for awhile. Scheffler, 29, who also captured the PGA Championship in May and now needs only a U.S. Open victory to enter the elite group of golfers who have won the sport's grand slam of all four major championships, is now the odds-on favorite to win every major in 2026, according to BetMGM. Declared the gaming venture's Matt Wall: 'The comparisons with Tiger Woods certainly don't look out of place right now.' − Compiled by Robert Abitbol This article originally appeared on USA TODAY: A farewell to Ozzy, Coke's sugar high, the flu fight: Week in review

What Does It Cost To Charge a Tesla Monthly Compared To Gas for a BMW 3 Series?
Electric vehicles promise a lot, including lower emissions, less maintenance and high-end tech. But for everyday drivers, the real question is simpler: How much does it actually cost to run one? Not the sticker price or tax incentives. The monthly cost to keep it moving. Consider the Tesla Model 3 and the gas-powered BMW 3 Series, two well-known sedans with similar performance. One charges up, the other fills up. And when you break down the costs, the gap between them gets surprisingly wide. Check Out: Read Next: Charging a Tesla The Tesla Model 3 rear-wheel drive (RWD) has an EPA-estimated range of 272 miles and a usable battery capacity of 57.5 kilowatt hours (kWh), according to Green Cars Compare. This translates to an efficiency of about 4.61 miles per kWh under ideal conditions. Assuming an average monthly driving distance of 1,200 miles, the Tesla would use roughly 260 kWh of electricity each month. At the current U.S. average residential electricity rate of 17.45 cents per kWh, according to Choose Energy, monthly charging costs come to about $45.37. Using Tesla Superchargers or other public fast chargers, which typically cost between 40 and 60 cents per kWh, will raise the monthly cost accordingly if relied upon frequently. Discover More: How Long Does Charging Take? Charging time depends on how and where it's done, according to the Department of Transportation. Level 1 (120V outlet): Two to five miles of range per hour. A full charge could take 40 to 50 hours — only useful for very light driving. Level 2 (240V home charger): 10 to 20 miles per hour. Fully recharges in about 4 to 10 hours. Tesla Supercharger: A charge to 80% typically takes 20 minutes to an hour, and adds 180 to 240 miles. Fuel Cost for a BMW 3 Series A 2025 BMW 330i averages around 31 miles per gallon combined, according to Edmunds. Driving 1,200 miles per month means buying about 38.7 gallons of gas. At $3.16 per gallon, the national average as of July 2025, that works out to $122.41 per month. Charging a Tesla Model 3 RWD at home costs about $45 per month, while fueling a BMW 3 Series averages around $122 per month. That's $77 in monthly savings, or $924 annually, just on energy expenses if you choose the Tesla over the BMW. Cost Per Mile Tesla: Uses about 0.22 kWh per mile, with a cost of $0.1745 per kWh. This comes out to roughly 3.8 cents per mile. BMW 3 Series: With gas prices around $3.16 per gallon and an average fuel economy of 31 miles per gallon, the cost comes to about 10 cents per mile. Other Cost Considerations Electric vehicles like the Tesla avoid many routine maintenance expenses common to gas cars, such as no oil changes, no spark plugs and no emissions tests. Regenerative braking also extends brake life, reducing replacement frequency. BMW owners typically face higher maintenance and repair costs, especially as the vehicle ages, along with fluctuating fuel prices that can spike unexpectedly. In contrast, electricity prices tend to be more stable and predictable. More From GOBankingRates How Much Money Is Needed To Be Considered Middle Class in Your State?
