Praying for cheaper gas.

[theVOID]

Go take into account all the subsidies, tarrifs, excise and at least some of the costs of the wars for oil and all the inflation your Reserve Bank is causing and then tell me you're paying less than the brits It only looks like you're paying less because you don't get to see all the cash you're forking out aside from the pump.

So they don't pay anything besides the pump price. "Congestion fee", anyone?

Of course they do, I didn't suggest otherwise, what I was getting at is this: You pay much more of the price of oil in taxes and other costs than they do, this needs to be taken into an account before you start saying nonsense like they pay 2-3 times as much. While the rest of the world may pay more at the pump than Americans we also subsidies a small fraction of what you do.

My Brit friends are paying $10.50/gal or so. I'm not whining here yet.

british petrol prices are a joke, we pay more on the tax on the petrol than the cost of the petrol itself.

Same here, are asshole government takes 66%.
