            Check Puerto Rico, they have about 3 dollar a gallon gas there.

              with the way the dollar is dropping in value, it won't be long before it is 3 dollars a gallon.

                  Because instead of attacking the higher procuding, much closer, oil state, which just had a coup and half its population begging the USA to intervene, we went all the way to Iraq. Bad choice if oil was the object.

                    I doubt that it will be $3 any time soon. Currently, the price of oil is just above the range where marginal producers can profitably add capacity. This isn't in the big boys' interests (they want to be the only ones adding capacity), so they'll keep the spiggot open as much as possible. Iraq oil will be coming on line in a major way in the next couple of years too...

                    Edit: FYi for those outside the US, to get to $3/gallon, the price of gas would have to about double and the price of oil would have to more than double.

                    Regarding the public transportation, things like trams are back in fashion, apparently. They are probably going to be adding one in Washington DC, after tearing up a good, workable system in the '50s. The commuter train system has been reactivated in the last 10 years (7 lines). This is all in addition to the subway which was built in the late 70s, of course.

                    I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

                      Nah dog, but I been there a couple times. My best friend lives in Corvalis, and when we visit we often head to Newport. Good chowdah.
                      That is not Maine therefore it is, by definition, not good chowdah.

                      Oh and South Korea's public transportation system is amazing. My dinky little town had buses to Seoul about every 45 minutes, common enough that once there was only two of us on the bus, for the longer trips there's different grades of buses (nice seats on the more expensive ones) and the Seoul subway system is great and damn cheap.

                        I'm selling gas at $3 a gallon to any Americans dumb enough to pay that much for it. Any takers?

                              You're just catching up with Europe. Ditch those pointless and clumsy barges you drive and get something economical. It's no big deal- the economy will adjust.
