The US STILL has WAY cheaper gas than most parts of the world.

People often forget that the U.S. mass transit system is so inefficiently, that cars are still the backbone of travel. It may sound like those pennies are just so frivilous, but it is the difference between gas increasing 1 cent and 5 cents at a time. People could argue that there will be fewer five cent increases than one cent increases, but there will not be five times less increases :eyebrow:
A lot of people argue that Americans pay so much less for gas than it's international counterparts, but at the same time, they don't have many alternatives for travel. That is why Americans tend to consume three to four times more gas than people from other countries. I'll still argue that Americans could revert back to bicycles, but that is a very dramatic change, especially for the fattest country in the world
There's nowhere I can't reach.
