Gas in India is more expensive than gas in the US, yet the average American earns 30-50 times more money.

If gas were $200/gallon, then the amount of attention Americans pay to it would be rational.

That's one of the reasons why I argue countries India will electrify their transportation and no ones going to have a say in it. Least of all what an 'merican in a big truck' thinks. I don't think India wants have to worry about the political fallout of oil price swings. Chafes at being dependent on potentially hostile countries. And has to breathe the same air as everyone else.
