gasoline cost four to ten times as much as electricity

Electricity isn't immune from the laws of supply and demand. Electricity prices are already on the rise do to green stupidity that requires non producing windmills that create an artificial rise in demand. Dump all cars into the mix and prices will be many times what gasoline costs.

If you don't like giving your money to EXXON and OPEC, buy a horse and eliminate all petroleum based products from your life.

electricity is used by almost everyone.
e. is a lot harder for politicians to go after and punish its users.

gasoline is used pretty much only by motorists,
so is an easy target for their hate.
