Very interesting that on one hand people complain about too expensive fuel, and on the other hand about that we have to use less.
What do you pay in the US? 3 $ per gallon....that is around 75 cents per liter? Which is about 60 eurocents per liters?....that is around 30 % of what we pay. Of course cars in the US on average use also twice the amount of fuel (my estimate) so per km it will be more or less the same.
Conclusion fuel is (especially in the US) too cheap. ....... and if people continue complaining.......but don´t buy/use less fuel nothing will change, and governments are right to tax fuel heavily as well.
