A good point which I missed, most cars of the 9-3/9-5 vintage and newer do not require reformulated gas, because the same thing can be achieved by the ECU and the sensors. With new cars, gains in lower emissions appear to be when starting and idling.
It is a matter of perception. The price of driving a mile is a function of the willingness to pay (SUV, 93-octane gas, etc.) The only thing people really argue over is who gets a slice of the revenue stream from all those gallons of fuel. In the midwest, a little more goes to the farmers. Someplace else, it goes to the oil company.
Think of it as a tax on your car. Gas is about twice as expensive in Europe, and people still buy BMW's and Saabs...
