    Gas costs over ten bucks per gallon in America. But only a small portion of this cost is paid at the pump. The "total cost of ownership" of a gallon of gas includes the roads & bridges that cars require, tax breaks given to large oil companies, the cost of cleaning up all the car crashes (and burying the dead), and the cost of the wars that must be fought to keep the supply flowing. Because the price at the pump is so low, usage is artificially high. This is why American cars are big and inefficient, but cars in all other countries are small and efficient. This is also why the biggest, richest country in the world is so far behind the curve on the "green car" technology game. "It's a great technology, but it isn't economically viable." This is another way of saying "gas is still too cheap to convince anybody to buy a [insert name of new car technology here] car." Four-dollar gas was the best thing that ever happened to America; unfortunately, the extra profits went to OPEC countries and oil traders, not the government (where they could waste it, but at least they would waste it at home).
