The US has inexpensive gasonline, about $1.35/gallon at the ARCO stations in Oregon and Washington recently. In the last 10 years, big vehicles with poor fuel economy have made a comeback ... people are lining up to buy vehicles with the US "Gas Guzzler" tax ... I think it applies to vehicles that get less than 16 mpg, which is about what vehicles got in the 1960s. To prevent getting this rating, cars like the Corvette were given transmissions with gears 2-4 locked out (unless the throttle is floored, in which case the other gears could be selected).
I did read that Argentina or Venezuela has gas for something like 14 cents/liter ... cheapest in the world.
