In reality your paying more for gas isn't really a greater burden since while you pay more for gas. You pay less for other things, or nothing for other things. (like healthcare... etc.) Unless your government sucks at how it uses it's taxes. Which would be a tax issue, not a gas one.

Very true. I'm not sure about this, but it seems to me that European countries aren't having the same problem as USA does:

Gas taxes are good. People drive too much in USA and it reflects on the environment, and low investment in public transportation which will come around to bite Americans in the ass in a few years. Heck, even investment in highways is suffering apparently.
