Car manufacturers have lobbied to make America only accessible by car. As a consequence, you now have no sensible choice but to drive everywhere. Imagine if gas prices were to double tomorrow. What would you do?

It would still be cheaper to drive.

And with most other things, you wouldn't just accept it if the price doubled, but with gas, you'd have no choice.
