Good thing we have a subsidy to encourage people to buy EVs. Ohh wait… I suspect the price will be directly subsidized to keep folks happy. Since we’re in wacky world this subsidy will be inconsistent depending on where you are. Blue States will be left with gas going to 6$ or more and Red States will probably have prices subsidized down to 4$.

That has already happened. Lower state gas taxes and friendly to refineries on their land = cheaper gas. Oil is already heavily, heavily subsidized: https://e360.yale.edu/digest/republican-spending-bill-fossil-fuel-subsidies https://e360.yale.edu/digest/republican-spending-bill-fossil... That one alone is over $100 per person per year, so we all paid extra, even those who don't drive. Even with all that we're still at $4/gal.
