    it's part of the properity gap ... gov't policy in recent years has been about benefitting the priveleged ... those who can afford it get to use it ...

    I thought it was about paying the true cost of using the energy? Which is it for you, true cost or benefiting the rich? ;)

    Expensive gasoline has led Europeans to also drive less than we do. In America, over 90 percent of all households commute to work by car. Compare that to just 60 percent of British households.
    what percentage of Brits live in cities compared to the percentage of Americans living in cities though? I'd imagine it's higher.

    haha ... i do believe we should pay the true cost ... but this pricing isn't based on that ... it's based on other reasons ...

    Quick Question:
    People keep saying the poor are more affected by the price of gasoline. If your poor, you can't buy a car in the first place. Chances are you have no job and no money for food either. So higher prices are not going to affect you either. I'm missing something here...

    I think when people talk about the poor.. they mean the working class. They forget there are ACTUALLY poor people out there.
