B/c of low taxation on gas. You can't do an apples to apples comparison to Europe or anywhere else. And yes gas prices are indeed quite a bit higher than they were 10 or 5 years ago. And that has more to do with the devaluation of our currency than anything else.

most everything is more expensive now than 10 years ago, except laptops and flat screens. We are spoiled to expect $2 gas prices for a gallon. Gas is really not that high.... if we were pushing 6 dollars per gallon I'd agree that they were too high. I only spend $30 on gas per week as it is now.
