i feel like what this article deliberately excludes when they say GAS IS $6.48 IN THE NETHERLANDS!!!!!! is the context to WHY gas costs so much in the netherlands (and europe more generally)

the governments of these countries deliberately tax gas bc they're trying to push more ppl away from gas-powered, low capacity vehicles into high capacity or non motorized vehicles. like europe has a MUCH more robust public transit system then the US and it SHOWS in CNN's reporting

idk if the carbrain got to the CNN writer or the network is funded by Big Car but it WAS the first thing to come up for me when i searched "gas prices in europe" sooooo...
