The price difference in motor fuels in other countries, has little to do with the cost of crude, or refining. The major factor is the TAXES , gas in South America, is as little as 17 cents per gallon, Norway has vast oil and gas reserves, but are taxed $4-5 per gallon. Here we pay about 60-70 cents per gal.
