    Imagine how much better the world would be if gas cost $100 per gallon

      Gas prices mean nothing if you can take the train. Every time gas prices jump, people start thinking about alternatives. Might be pretty sick, actually.

        Exactly.

        If gas cost $100 per gallon, cities would HAVE to build trolleys or subways. Which is my dream. I just want trains

      I, for one, would be whole lot poorer and a whole lot hungrier.

      Idk where you get your food from, but mine comes from a store up the road a bit and is mostly delivered using vehicles that use gasoline to deliver it there.

        Of course, that would never change in the face of changing financial incentives. The world as it is is the world as it ought to be.
