Its never going to happen, but (as a highly taxed Brit) I think that petrol in the US is way too cheap, given the costs to the environment, declining reserves, etc. Hell I live in London, owning a car doesn't make any sense whatsoever. I can't even drive.
James' challenge is silly. Similar populist arguments have been used to claim that Americans don't really want socialised medicine either. I mean if they did, surely they'd do something about it, right?
