Many studies have come to the conclusion that the "fully burdened" cost of fuel is at least $5 or $6 per gallon - or about what they pay in Europe.
Google "true cost of fuel" for any number of interesting reads.

A man dear to my heart. The cost of fuel is too cheap. Just look at all the shi*boxes on the road getting about 16 mpg. If these people have enough money to dump $250.00 per month in gasoline into those pieces of *****, and they keep buying them like they cost $15,000., then
gasoline is too damned cheap.
I stand by my original proposal to increase the tax on gasoline by $1.00 per gallon and give every owner of a vehicle a $500.00 credit on his/her income taxes. If you can get by on 500 gallons of gasoline per year then the tax costs you nothing. Drive a *****box and
pay up. The government needs the money.
Fire Away.
