        Cheap ass oil from being a producer, the gas station down the street has gasoline for $0.98/liter.

        About 1/6 of that is taxes and should be higher

          Not to mention that like half of our population is entirely convinced that man made climate change is a hoax. Many of those people go out of their way to drive the cars and trucks with the worst gas mileage, and some go even further to modify their vehicles to produce even worse gas mileage, and “roll coal” to offend the people that do actually care about the environment.

          We live in a country with many ignorant and selfish individuals.

            It’s more like a third to a quarter of our population, but since they’re overrepresented politically due to concessions made to the slave states, it feels like they’re half.
