You know whose hurt by high prices? Poor people. Guess whose not hurt by them? Rich people.

Exactly. Based on this, and based on OP’s other responses, OP is basically saying “I want poor people to suffer so rich people can make more money” (off of new car sales with more efficient engines, or electric).

So my question for them is: is the income divide not great enough? If not, when will it be?

That’s mainly a problem for car-brained people. There are other modes of transportation, you know.
Oil products are used in a lot more things than just cars. But, you’re right. I’ll just ride a bike next time I have to travel 70 miles for one of my regular gigs.
