It's pretty bad... Some cities have great transit.

New York, Chicago, D.C... Hell, even LA to some extent (If you are hanging out around the downtown area).

But the rest of the country is just so damn big.

Trains only run a few routes and it's a long haul between stops once you leave the east coast.

The north east corridor is the only decent train system in the US.

Flying is expensive for the common man. Much cheaper to get around in Europe and Japan.

This is a big fallacy.  The tax rate is not that much more dramatic than the US.  Problem is the US spends 1/3 of its money on the military instead of helping the citizens.  Another 3/4 of the remain go to medicare and social security.  The US is full of leeches.

Gas today here in Encino was $4.39 for regular 87, $4.49 for 89 octange, and $4.59 for super 91.  This is by far the biggest jump in gas prices I have ever seen in one week.

Last week, when I got gas on Thursday evening, it was $3.99 for regular 87.

40 cents in one week - unreal.

Welcome to Los Angeles county.

And this is the winter - they use a more expensive type of gas come summer time out here too.

Starting wars is an expensive hobby, I agree. Also, when Isreal starts bombing Iran (with your money, as the American taxpayer donates billions every year to countries like Israel, Egypt, and Pakistan, and Afghanistan and, and, and...) the oil price will probably go up a lot more.

Besides that, over one billion people in India, and approx 1.5 billion in China all want a motorcycle, or a car, and buy lots of consumer goods, and go on holiday sometime in the future...so chances are, oil production and refining will not be able to keep up with increasing demand.
Americans who continue to buy gas guzzlers (And think that buying a 14 mpg V8 is somehow "patriotic") are basically a bunch of masochists.

(Here in Holland gas prices will go up, if only because our bureaucrats increase taxes on gas and diesel by 5% every year. Many other government and semi government rates rise even more, sometimes 7 of 8% per annum. Yet our politicians and the Dutch central bank claim there is very little inflation in Holland...strangely I don't believe them  :-)

In the Netherlands it becomes more and more difficult to buy a car that uses a lot less fuel. (Most people drive small cars, or frugal diesels, of hybrids). The average American car owner has a lot more possible fuel economy gains to choose when buying another car I think.
