主题：买车求助。请各位兄弟帮忙 -- 煮酒正熟

when I lived in Europe, local old people told me that in 1960s, his first car was a large American-style gas-consuming car. After the oil shock of 1971, all Europeans realized that they live on a continent extremely short of gasoline resources.

The high tax policy was a natural reaction out of national security concern. Mid-easterners taught Europeans a bloody harsh lesson.

Europeans departed with Americans on the gas policy: Americans decided to fully control the mid-east to ensure long-term low gas supply. Europeans chose to play chicken(or peace) with the Arabics.
