Gas guzzling: Americans never learn
Dan K. Thomasson argues that Americans repeat costly fuel-inefficient habits despite crises such as Vietnam Watergate and high oil costs. He notes SUVs and pickups surged in 2009 despite lower gas prices in 2010, cites Europe’s higher gas prices as a nudge toward discipline, and warns dependence on oil will persist due to Eisenhower era highways and political inertia. The piece reflects on economics and policy as automakers profit from larger vehicles.
