Come back in 40 years and you'll be happy to pay $50/gal.

Yeah, right.

Neglecting inflation, it is never going to happen.

If gasoline cost that much, no one would buy it, which means no one would
make it.

Over here ------->, a litre of fuel costs about �1.20

�1.20 is about $1.82 in Leftpondian money

One of your puny US gallons is 3.78541178 litres (ours are 4.54609188
litres)

So, we are already paying nearly $7 per US gallon over here and I
haven't noticed cars going out of fashion yet.

$7 << $50

Your price for gasoline has little to nothing to do with the cost of gasoline
and a lot to do with allowing your government to spin out of control.
