Sure, this is true. And topping it off with mostly 6 or 8 cylinder monster trucks the discount the US gets when importing oil is quite big. There is no denying that "buying more gives better discount".
When I live in Los Angeles I do drive longer to get to anywhere - most US cities failed miserably when it comes to public transport - it is a shame, but it is what it is...
