Like anywhere, its alright if you're in a regional centre or something as you can get a bus, walk or something. But out in the boonies were there's practically fuck-all, all your agriculture, mining, forestry and other donkey work, that's all done with vehicles of some sort.I mean i live in regional bumblefuck Australia and own a couple of farms, petrol and diesel prices are sort of where we live or die economically- for my tractors, pumps, trucks, generators, getting to town by car and using large trucks to move livestock and produce.
They get too expensive, we simply couldn't move food into somewhere to get it processed and distributed, therefore, it becomes more expensive to produce, which in turn gets passed on down to the customer eventually
Scale that across anything from steel plate, machine parts, timber, transport industries and you rapidly go downhill as a country, its a real imperative that fuel prices remain viable as part of your economy, because if they get too high, everything else gets too high to buy and things go to hell
In large countries like mine or Russia in particular we call that the tyranny of distance
