Here is a breakdown of the benefits of expensive fuel:
1. Globalized jobs will return to the US.
2. Urban sprawl is slowing down and may stop.
3. Many employers are letting people work four days a week.
4. Less driving means cleaner air and therefore, better respiratory health.
5. People are wasting less fuel. They are now taking better care of their cars.
6. Fewer drivers means fewer collisions and therefore, fewer deaths.
7. Driving your car fewer miles could lead to lower insurance rates, especially if you stop using it to commute.
8. Fewer drivers means less traffic congestion.
9. You will see more police on foot and on bicycles in your neighborhood, improving both their health and community relations.
10. People get more exercise and eat out less when gas is expensive.
