you guys are lucky to live in america. in europe gas prices are way higher. the cheapest i can find around my area is 1.558 €/liter but the majority of gas stations are already over 1.600 €. with the conversion € - > $ and liters -> gallon it should be about 8$ /gallon


Luck has nothing to do with it.

Europeon gas is so expensive because of Pro-enviroment laws.


Like for example the German tax on gas is like $1.70 per Litre... which is like $6.29 per Galon.

The US Federal Gas tax is like...  $0.18 cents a galon.


So really, if anything,  the US is probably getting ripped off since taxes removed, our gas is more expensive!


hmmmm really? at the end of it when it comes to paying for it over the counter compare to other countrys you actually feel america is getting "ripped off"?

Sure.  I mean other countries voted in polticians who favored expensive gas taxes to curb gas usage and global warming.

We should be paying the same rate europeons pay minus the taxes.

Think gas is too high?  Put in politicians to lower or repeal the tax.

Gas costs around 2.70$ per litre here, or about 10.8$ per gallon. Unleaded 98 costs 5-8% more and diesel generally 5-8% less.

Nah, if anything that's why we shouldn't pay europeon style taxes on it.

That and the fact that you actually need a car to survive in the US.

Can't even get a job in a lot of places if you don't have a car.

No, not like everywhere else.  In the US in a lot of parts in the country you can't even get to a job in the same town or if your lucky, a 20 minute walk to catch 2-3 busses that take around 50 minutes a piece.

 

As for switcing gas bills.  Taxes excluded?  Sure.

Think about it rationally for a second.

Say I live in an area that puts a $250 dollar tax on TVs, and buy a TV for 450.

You don't have such a tax and pay 250.

You are clearly getting ripped off by $50.

Why should you feel bad I'm paying more for a tax that my area passed by supporting the policies that inacted it?
