Ha! Lol at "if Jesus came..."
Whenever people complain about the price of gas I always give the same response: "You do know the price is not the problem, right? Because truthfully, gas is actually one of the cheapest things you buy by the gallon. A gallon of milk costs more. Juice costs more. Imagine if you had to buy a gallon of shampoo. It's your *consumption* that's the problem. The reason you're mad is because you use 20 gallons a week of gas, but only about 2 gallons of milk. I use zero gallons a week of gas so I am fine with the price. I use more juice than I use gas, so I'm actually more concerned with that price. Stop consuming so much gas and you'll be fine."
Americans... Not gonna stop consuming gas, so all I get is blank stares of confusion and "Use less gas? What? Impossible." [emoji19]

I understand your point but not everyone is fortunate enough to live in an area where there is public transportation they can fully rely on and a car is the only option for them. They can't not consume "so much gas". If America as a whole had a better public transportation system maybe that could change. But you can only find those in metropolises.
As for people buying gas guzzling SUVs, sometimes they are a necessity for people and sometimes they are a luxury.
