I'd bet that if you actually paid at the pump for ALL the cost of your gasoline (including military and damage to the environment and people's health), it would be more than $10/gallon. If you saw just how much you are really spending on your gas guzzler, you'd be chomping at the bit for an EV.
I like the mention of people's health. Put those costs into the equation. I assume most people prefer to breathe CLEAN air.
