Quote: "We don't have train stations like Europe does. God only knows why. Train stations like that would be our savior. I can't stand when other people from different countries say, "stop complaining, our gas is way more expensive.""
Our gas prices are rising too and to a point where it's overly expensive too, £1.20 a litre is the current price, I remember it wasn't that long ago it was 80p per litre, so per litre it has gone up 40p, so we're paying out more than we normally would as well. Public transport doesn't get you everywhere you need or for the right price.
Though like us, you have the right to complain, I mean if I complain about our government and somebody from Korea steps in and says "You can't complain, you have a democracy, your goverment doesn't mind what country you go to or what you say, ours does" then I wouldn't be disallowed the right to complain about it.
Though our gase prices may be much higher and that's relative to our lifestyle, economy and the vehicles we use, we still have
a problem. It seems having larger cars and relying so much on cars may have a lot of American's shot in the foot and panicking more for gas and this is probably why there's an emphasis now on alternative power methods and with this, fresh new ones coming out the problem looks like it'll eventually be solved. For now, it means a temporary solution needs to be made so that people can afford to get from A to B - or people will need to make sacrifices/ration their fuel until we all can run whatever cars dominate the fight for 'the fuel solution'. If Air cars become affordable, aren't fugly and can reach 120mph, then I'm sure it's a solution that may catch on.
