Kiss the rod, peon Americans. You deserve to be as miserable as the rest of the world.

I suspect the Saudi announcement about trouble there would bring about $200 to $300/bl was made for a reason. Russia would really make a killing!

He mentions that higher taxes and duties play a role in the costs, but never mentions how much those countries buy, compared to the US.

Who gives a rip what the rest of the world pays? That’s a feeble argument in overcharging Americans for gasoline. What we care is what we pay and we’re paying way too much. Time to get the speculators out of the oil business, and time to drill here, drill now.
To: SeekAndFind
What the “other countries” pay for gasoline should have absolutely NOTHING to do with what we in the USA pay for gasoline. Arghhhh.

B.S. We should be closer to Iran and Iraq.
IF the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA would embrace oil and natural gas exploration and production, we could power our economy for the next hundred years and cripple the economies of those who wish to enslave us.

Isn’t the whole point about loving being an American about not *wanting* to be like the rest of the world???

Who gives a damn what the rest of the world pays? They’ve been using that nonsense argument to push all kinds of nonsense (health care, global warming, etc).

The United States of America is the BEST COUNTRY in the history of the World.
We should NEVER be compared to any other country. Who cares what they pay, we need not pay as much as the others.

What a condescending twit! He bashes Palin for daring to suggest that $4/gallon is too high. I think $1.50/gallon is too high!
How about this clown pays for his $4/gallon gas and then send me $4 for every gallon he buys so he can pay $8/gallon right now. Why wait on the rest of America?

“utilizing gasoline taxes to reduce oil imports, create a more efficient transportation system, and better prepare for longer-term oil price volatility.”
And helping to pay unemployment and welfare benefits to a large section of their population.
So the author should move to one of these reasonable countries, rather than stay here and force the rest of us to accept her values.

In addition to expensive gasoline, the rest of the world also has death camps, female circumcision, slavery, monkey brains for dinner, female armpit hair, soccer, sewage for drinking water, wide-spread tuberculosis, six teeth, starvation, dysentery, scurvy, Eurovision, and haggis.

I don’t care what anyone but us pays for gas.
What these “Everyone else but us pay more” clowns don’t tell you is the amount that fuel is taxed by the govt in those countries. The other thing they refuse to put in their snarky little articles is the fact that we have enough oil reserves right here in the US to get us off the tit of OPEC.

"Many nations recognize oil as a finite resource, and are utilizing gasoline taxes to reduce oil imports, create a more efficient transportation system, and better prepare for longer-term oil price volatility." Can I have some of what the author is smoking? It must be something potent ....
"reduce oil imports" - if that were true, then the monies collected would be used to fund alternative types of energy instead of filling gaps in the budget.
"create a more efficient transportation system" - oh please - Public Transportation has about the same priority as any other socialist utopian promise.
"better prepare for longer-term oil price volatility" - right - artificially jack the prices via taxes and blame the evil oil companies, in good times as in bad ....

Your charts don’t mean squat unless you take out the taxes paid on gas in each country.
What is the raw cost of gas in each country - without government added taxes.
