That's simply not a legitimate rationale for keeping gasoline prices
low. You don't "need" to travel "vast distances"; you *choose* to do
that, and your choice is greatly influenced by the cost of doing it. If
the cost is higher, you'll do less of it.
The true cost of burning a gallon of gasoline is *far* higher than what
you pay at the pump. You should be paying much, much more for gasoline
than you currently are paying.
