Gasoline in the US is taxed not subsidized.


An interesting question for this is will governments start with 'electricity tax'. There will be a ~$40bn revenue hole from cars swapping to electric in USA. Even proportionally more in Europe and Australia where the fuel taxes are much higher.

Kind of. The ethanol that's put into the gasoline is derived from corn, which is heavily subsidized in America.
