The article mostly discusses fuel reaching up to $5.00/gal in the near term.
We pay above 8$ pr gallon
Thank your lucky stars your country only has 16,000 sq miles, ours has over 3 million!
Europeans arent forced to commute like we are, therego they are incapable of understanding. Id like to see one commute every day accross the 91 Freeway, 35 miles to work, and back home again, 5 days a week, filling up at 4 dollars a gallon, going through a tank and a half of gas a week. Being forced to live that far because its the only affordable place to live. Then lets see if he changes his comment about "how americans think cheap gas is a god given right".
That is a rather arrogant generalization, considering how different the European countries are...eventhough Denmark is a small country I know many people who commute that same distance for the very same reasons you state. I can hardly imagine how it is Germany ,the Netherlands or the UK...
