America is also a car centric nation. Oil and gas companies have spent decades preventing any sort of alternative travel options to traverse the country. Ever wonder why the US has some of the worst passenger rail lines in the world or why every major US city doesn’t have some sort of functioning mass transit system?
But to your point, yeah some of my neighbors won’t shut the fuck up about the goddamned gas prices.

Canada is a great example of a car centric nation that doesn’t subsidize (as heavily) fuel.
Shit, in my province, from my city to the next large city (over 300k) is 340km away. Just one road small towns scattered in between
Edit to clairify: subsidizing is dumb but also not investing in rapid transport between hubs is equally as dumb.
