The reason we Americans are making such a big deal about gas is that we are more dependent on it. England is just a small little country compared to how large and expansive the US is. You guys don't travel far to your destinations and have really good mass transit systems. Most Americans live in suburbs and have to drive a great distance to their jobs and so gas ends up being very costly. No one in America rides buses and only New York has a subway system.
