Remember that that scene is from an abandoned gas station - meaning the developers thought gas prices would get higher than that.

It's because we have a lot of land and not a China-esque level of population.
That's simplistic to the point of insanity. Of course the total population density is merely the total number of people divided by the total square mileage, but that number tells you nothing about how far an average person needs to travel in any given day. The truly rural population, maybe, but they are of course a tiny fraction of the population living in cities in general and suburbs in particular. The growth of suburbs as a viable living circumstance can be pinned
almost entirely on cheap gas. In turn, it's mostly living in suburbs that requires people to make relatively lengthy trips on a daily basis.

How much is gas/petrol where everyone here lives?
Mine is $3.89 per gallon. I just fueled up this morning. A 2002 Honda Accord 4-cylinder should not take $75 (US dollars) to fill up.

$8.64 unleaded, a bit more for diesel.
The petrol cost in the UK isn't really an incentive for me to get off my bicycle <small>the weather on the other hand</small>
