In 2008, gas prices in Denmark had reached nearly $9 dollars a gallon as Friedman stated in his novel. This not only helps out greatly with the economy but it also forces people to buy less gas. This will also cause people to either carpool, bike instead of drive, or even buy a more fuel efficient car. Americans have the tendency to drive the biggest gas guzzlers they can afford. Not only do these vehicles burn holes in their pockets with all the gas they eat up but they're also horrible for the environment. If America jacked up their gas prices, then maybe Americans would become less addicted to their precious 8 seater buses and stop polluting the air so much so we can all breath for a second.
