2 or 3 USD per US gallon prices are earth climate-smashingly low. The demand for giant petrol-guzzling trucks and SUVs in the US is diabolical. Auto culture there is so fucked up (by design). I lived in Los Angeles, so I have seen it firsthand. It is even worse now with the rise of the anti-EV Trumpian (and Rethug-in-general) mindset.
