And I was driving in 1970, and it wasn't easy to make sure I had
enough gas to make it to school and back. It sucked then, and it sucks
now, so what is the point?

That you like to bitch about everything.

If you want to decrease the consumption of gas in the US, you need to
provide incentives for people using energy efficient transportation. The
most effective way is the increase the cost of gas. All Europeans

countries

tax the hell out of gas, to keep consumption down.







They tax the hell out of gas to keep a socialist lifestyle going while
hiding the true costs.


Ah, yes...that danged socialist lifestyle...decent health care for
everyone, inexpensive higher education, decent housing, hardly any
homeless, lower crime rates, lower rates of violence, less infant death
mortality...awful, eh?


Also, the public transit is great.

Well, you know about that danged socialist lifestyle...with decent
public transit.
