mauzip:
lol @ you americans thinking gas prices in the states are high

LOOK @ HOW HIGH THEY ARE IN THE NETHERLANDS!

good thing i don't have a drivers license :) ::)

Don Rizzle:
americans have no right to complain cost wise, when they have the cheapest fuel in the developed world and they probaby pay the least tax, there is no room for the government to intervene other abolishing fuel tax which would be dissasterous. when i first started driving 4 years ago oil cost between 15 to 30 dollars a barrel, in the last year its been more like between 40 and 60 dollars a barrel so its innevitable that prices will go up at the pumps but americans are TOO STUPID to understand this. In europe its a different story fuel tax is much larger and haugliers in particular have been leading the protest becauses they are becoming increasingly squeezed by the rising costs, and are complaining their loss of competitiveness against other countries.

^well that's cuz you people drive little rice rockets and minis all over your countries that get 5000 miles to the gallon where as in the united states we drive trucks and and mustang gt's that take up half a tank just to go to the mall........so all in all we probably SPEND as much on gas as you do

Jome:
^^ Yeah, you really need those 4WD pickups, monster trucks and offroaders to climb the mighty U.S. mountains and to manage the harsh snow conditions in the winter... they're EATING gas, and that's why U.S. is the #1 danger to the global environment.. (Not that I give a shit)
If Bush suddenly started taking the same taxes as most of Europe do, you couldn't afford those monster cars, you'd be forced to think economy..
(Over here you pay more taxes the bigger the engine.. and big engines usually means huge fuel demand...)

I actually like the U.S. car politics, but if every country started using as much gas as U.S., the world be polluted to death in few years.. and there would be no oil left within very few years..

Suga Foot:
when you buy a car with a big engine in the US, you pay a special gas consumption tax.

I drive a German car, and it's a pig on gas  ;D
