Gas Prices Are Too Low
By now, gas prices are old news. Gas is up, gas is down, but one thing doesn’t change - we still buy it.
People think it’s a problem that Americans consume too much gasoline. We do, but the real problem is Americans are in love with the convenience of having our own cars. The gasoline by itself means nothing to us - it’s the convenience of our cars that is worth paying the price of gas.
So really, gas prices are too low. We would pay much more than we do now to keep our cars and not have to carpool, take public transportation, or ride our bikes. How much higher would we go? How much money would you actually give to keep your car?
When the price of gas reaches the limit we would pay to keep our cars, gas prices might finally be high enough to make some changes in this world.
