I'm sorry but America should have to pay the petrol rates, us Europeans are expected to pay.

£1.40 a litre x $1.60 (exchange rate between £ and $) x a US gallon (3.8 litres i think)

That would be $2.25 a litre, so $8.55 a gallon. Not fair at all, when Americans pay only $3.50 on average per gallon. Not only that, they use the most petrol out of anyone in the world per capita. The price gap in petrol prices between countries needs to be smaller, it's to wide now.

Finally, I doubt Obama has anything to do with it either.

Or... you know... Europe could just drop all it's stupid gas taxes.

It literally does nothing to help the enviroment because there is far more demand for oil then there is supply.

Every bit of oil/gas that isn't burned in europe is just being burned in south america, china, india, or the US.

All it does is weigh unevenly heavy on the poor and get tax revenue for the government.

Yeah it's unreal what taxes are put on petrol, these extra taxes probably don't even help to fix the country, the MP's pockets more like! UK taxes on petrol account for at least 70% of the price, making it harder for smaller business to get somewhere. I don't know why it is so expensive in Europe, it makes places like Canada (expensive to you Americans!) seem very cheap.
