So come on, stop that whining poor Americans!
Dont be so stupid.

Gas in Japan is $8 / gallon. Last time I checked, japanese dont drive 50 miles one way to their work. Japanese has one of the most efficient subway systems in the world. I can get anywhere in Tokyo in less than 30 minutes.

In Europe, people drive Smart tiny cars and they dont drive 50 miles to work either. Most dont even have to drive on the freeway to get to work.

Why dont you complain to the US government and ask them to build a subway system like in Japan, then I won't have to complain about the gas prices. They can charge $15 / gallon for all I care.
