Europe's fuel has a high tax on top of it. This is apples to oranges. But it is a great argument for the oil barons.

At least at this time we are not stupid enough to let our selves be taxed to death like the EU or we to would be paying up to $11.00 for a gallon of diesel. Of course if everyone votes for Free health care come November then we will be paying close to EU prices for gas and diesel by this time next year!

JMHO

I am SOOO tired of hearing these pencil necked reporters saying, "well you know, in Europe they pay X amount for fuel..."

Well guess what....WE DON'T LIVE IN EUROPE! I don't care what they pay in Europe. This is America! Land of the free, home of the brave. I don't want to be like degenerate Europe, so stop trying to compare us to them.

THANK YOU SIR!

Now, if we could just convince about 150 million more Americans to worry about America first, we would head in a better direction............

What they forget when they compare us with the Europeans is they have those little cars that look like toys and get 40 to 50 miles to the gallon.For the most part when we purchase our cars and trucks gas prices were resonable and no one really expected 5to7 dollar fuel this fast.We have the big vehecles, so we have a right to cry at the pump.WE have not had the time to downsize,fuel has gone up too fast.
