Meanwhile, gas prices are driving up the cost of everything. again.

Lol America's prices are cheap as fuck

5.60 a gallon (1.51 per liter) where I am. Not anywhere near cheap for a country that demands you use a car to commute.

maybe that's part of the issue

It's absolutely part of the issue. We have the economic data that strong walking and mass transit cities helps local economies. But alas rich people find it hard(er) to make money on those concepts. They might have to forego the 3rd Yacht.

It's half of the price it should be.

I'm sure if you offered to pay double, they would accept. Put your money where your mouth is

Not anywhere cheap ? Are you kidding it's almost free

In comparison to which country? New Zealand is only a dollar per gallon higher.

Maybe it's a sign we need less dependency on oil...
