whatever. You don't like it? Take the bus, walk, ride a bike, buy a horse...
Lets look at this... Say 20 mpg. $3.50 a gallon. Car weighs what, almost 4000 pounds. It's roughly 2200 miles from LA to NYC. 2200/20= 110 gallons * $3.50 = $385. Try to ship something that weights 4000 pound from coast to coast. It doest cost that much to move this much mass from point a to point b.
In retrospect, fuel costs in this country are SUPER low!
