    In Europe, the price is mostly paid by the consumer. In America, the government subsidizes the industry to the tune of billions per year, both at the federal and state levels. It makes gullible people think American fuel prices are lower, when in fact it socializes the cost of fuel onto all of society.

    Counterpoint: I live in Europe and pay €0 for gas. I walk, bike, and take transit. That’s literally impossible in much of the US.
