Grown-up countries have high gas taxes. Why doesnt the U.S.? The far bigger problem is that Americas gas taxes are too low to offset what economists call the externalities of driving. Dont let the word spook you; all it means is that driving creates all sorts of negative social impacts that arent being compensated for: personal time and work productivity lost to traffic congestion, lives lost to car crashes, and health risks created by air pollution, to name just a few.
