It's around $6.50 a gallon in the UK and not forgetting it is a larger gallon as it is imperial measurement! Still way too expensive though. Oil is the product we need for centuries to come and is used in so many 'products' not just plastics. gas for vehicles represents one of it's smaller uses! Electric vehicles have to have a charged produced by a power station somewhere on the grid, and guess what they burn fossil fuels! More electric vehicles means worse pollution. Not only the fossil fuel but the battery manufacture and disposal of them. Not to get political here but carbon is vital to our world and if you do the research right we are not polluting our planet as many would believe. We represent a tiny fraction of carbon produced. Around the earth at any one time, under and above the sea there are volcanic erruptions pumping out more 'pollutant' than humans can presently produce in a 100 years! And thos happen all the time below the seas. You really must question what we are told.
