If gasoline was sold for a fair price, cars would be reduced to a novelty within a generation


You should go to the third world and see how much cheaper gas is there.

A lot of third world countries exist almost entierly off of gas subsidies from the government. Go look at what Libyans paid per liter of gas during the Gadaffi years.

Americans already pay a "fair price". No, no one in the world properly accounts for "externalities" of consumption.
