America has always managed to have a ready supply of cheap oil which is why we never fully developed a high speed rail system.
Never mind all the geopolitical issues which we can leave for another day.
And with the interstate highway system under Eisenhower it allowed us to go on vacations by car.
Back in 2009 when gas prices spiked I bought a 2008 Ford Focus while my wife drove an Isuzu Trooper that got 10 miles to the gallon downhill with a good tail wind.
Our son was 10 at the time and I explained if we took the Ford on vacation we'd have an extra $500 to spend on money we would spend on gas.
