I know You've seen the gas price double for the last year or so, but you still have it pretty cheap. Seriously.  |
Most of the countries you describe also have a good, if not great, public transportation system making a car almost un-necessary. Also, most of the cars they drive in Europe are small gas sippers.
We don't have those things here in the U.S. to help offset high gas prices. The AVG commute is 40 miles a day.
