What’s ridiculous is all the yanks whining about their criminally underpriced fuel prices just because their domestic car manufacturers never learned how to build a decent engine.

It affects me because we have no public transit infrastructure, and housing in the city is so fucking expensive I have to live in a mobile home park 40 miles away from my office.

While Europeans have more expensive gas, how many of them need to drive 80 miles a day?

At least tens of millions. 40 miles is not a long commute.
