    It should cost more. Cheap gas is killing the planet. Cheap gas is the reason American carmakers don't even make sedans anymore and why SUVs keep getting more popular and bigger.

    Public transit ridership has never been higher in the last 30 years than during the recession when gas prices were higher. Also it was the only thing that briefly slowed the meteoric rise of the SUV.

      Unironically lower living standards is how we fight climate change. No cars, no meat, no kids, no electronics, no plastics, no paper. Most of the world is doing fine without it.
