Let's see - post WWII, Europe was rebuilding, where we came home and expanded (in more ways than one). I wonder what we'd do if we paid European prices for gas? I believe that's part of the reason for the high price is to subsidize public transit, done some in this country but not as heavily.
Just a thought.
Thought #2 - TE Group vacation in Holland!

Agree 100% As long as we're paying artificially low fuel prices only minor inroads will be made into alternative transportation options. Big Oil is greedy, not stupid.
