Naww, I'll never move from Norway, especially not over money, it's just too good here. 8)
At the end of the day, I'm not satisfied with the gas prices, but I can afford it..
I'd like to see lower prices, but not as low as in U.S. cuz I know what that will lead to eventually.
Many Americans who come to Norway is surprised why it's so clean here, even the cities..

More and more people have more than 1 car in Norway, if the prices was reduced with 350% to match the American level, you'd have a RUSH of people buying not only 2 or 3, but maybe up to 4 cars, and nobody would take the bus/public transportation, and bikes would be a blast from the past.
If I could import cars from U.S. without paying Norwegian taxes/import fees, I'd probably buy 2-3 cars for myself at once..

I don't know what you found funny, but if you paid $7.5-7.8 for gas like we do in Norway, or more than $8 like they do in Holland, I'm pretty sure you would think again before buying that Monster truck 4WD Turbo... most likely you would die of the shock when you saw the price at the gas station..  ::) :D

I find it funny that I DON'T pay 7.50 a gallon and I CAN buy a monster truck.
