We should be paying 3 to 4 dollars a gallon here. Tax the fuck out of it. Instead of mandating tighter mpg standards, just make it good policy for the automakers to find a better way.
Not many navigators and expeditions sold that way. More Prius and Civics though.
3 - 4 dollars is closer to the true cost of driving in this country anyway with the military needs to defend and fight for the resources and the true impact on our infrastructure and environment. Still well below, but closer.
