I don't even know how you can afford to drive at those prices - which is the point. Socialists/communists don't like people being able to move freely, and gas taxes is one way to prevent that. That's why they're popular with communists like Al Gore. This global warming horseshit is another way to push the same policy.
Not to mention, prices like that would multiply through the economy as we have massive numbers of trucks cris-crossing the country 24/7 to supply food and everything else.
The important thing to remember: these gas prices are not driven by the market, they're driven by government taxes and artificial restrictions on supply.
