Isn't $3.00 a gallon pretty cheap compared to other countries?

Most other countries tack on a much higher tax than the US does. The Norwegians are paying about $9 a gallon, but most of that $9 is taxes.

I talked to a lady this week who just returned from the UK. She paid the equivalent of about $6 per gallon in Birmingham, but again, most of that is tax.

How many other countries have their economy as dependent on gasoline as ours is?

[Rte66]

Yes. So's $4 and $5.

[LM_Guy]

Yes it is it is over $5 in most European countries!!!!

Just typical American whining - we drive around in SUVs and burn fuel like there is not end of supply in sight, we ship our jobs to China and India turning them into economic power house's whose fuel demands have grown 10-20% a year for the last 5+ years, while we continue to let millions of people pour into this country causing ever increasing demand for energy.

What did we Americans expect was going to happen, maybe it is time to get our collective heads out of the sand and start getting serious about alternative energy supplies.

Nuclear, wind, thermal, solar etc., anything but Oil which will continue to grow in shorter supply and what is in supply is in the hands of way to many international despots !!!!!!

yes, it's dirt cheap. Europe pays $6.00 and up per gallon.

[Paulus Invictus]

Yup. My daughter and everyone else in England is paying well over $5 per US gallon now. The price per gallon all over Europe is at that general level.

The other countries with high prices are socialist and pay a lot of their socialist agendas with high gas prices... this isn't a fair measure.
