Maybe if Germany drilled for their own oil you would only be paying $3/gal. Nevermind, it's only a short term fix, and you apparently love paying $6.25.
Ron,
1. there isn't much oil in Germany - in fact virtually none.
2. The 6.25 is half in taxes. The price of oil is global, the rest is taxes.
3. There are a lot of taxes in Germany I do mind, the oil one isn't actually one of them. It is totally my own choice whether and how much of it I pay.
