The remarks of politicians about what is paid in Europe, or anywhere other than the USA,
have been made to try to get US citizens to go along with higher gas prices without a revolt.
Al Gore said we "needed" higher gas prices.
It doesn't matter to me what someone pays in another part of this world.
When you have no wells and no refineries you pay what it takes... and then get the hell
screwed out of you by added government taxes.
We have oil reserves, sources of oil, refineries, and distribution.
Now, we have added taxes and higher prices and we are told we should be grateful.
Gasoline is about $1 a gallon in Central America.
Let's vote everyone out and start over with people who will represent us.
Please go back to discussions of Forward Look vehicles and happier topics than the idea
that we should be thankful for our gasoline prices.
southern Ohio, USA.
Well, that is close to about right: almost $10 a gallon.
Won’t keep me from driving my doggies around, but we’re thinking twice (doing math) about visiting further away family and friends…

Just curious, as I was recently fondly looking back on the day two or three years ago when gas prices took a sudden jump from around $1.75 to around $2.50 a gallon seemingly overnight and everyone was up in arms. At that time, we were reminded that in Europe they were already paying $3.50 - $4 a gallon.
Of course, we here in the US kinda scoffed that it would ever get that high for us!
So, now that we have passed $3.50 and are quickly on the way to 4 bucks a gallon, I was just curious what our European friends are paying today for a gallon? (Yes I know they buy liters, not gallons, but maybe they're smarter than me and can do the conversion?) $8? $10?
