Why does gas cost $7/gallon in Europe and so much less in the USA?
please only answer if you truly know the answer. No speculation or opinions please.

European Union charges very high taxes on Gasoline to reduce polution and to reduce consumption of gasoline imported from other Countries.

It's working.

40% of all Passenger cars in Europe are now using Diesel Engines.

In my humble opinion the United States of America should charge at least $9 per gallon to force everybody to spend less oil and also a special tax of $8,000.00 to vehicles with 8 cylinders and give a $5,000.00 tax (In 5 yearly payments of $1000.00) to current owners of vehicles that can shut down cylinders and work with just 3 cylinders like the Honda Oddysey 2006 and a $4,000.00 tax (In 4 yearly payments of $1000.00) to current owners of vehicles with 4 cylinders like the Mazda5

The US is a large country with a large demand and we can influence the price of goods in our markets. Smaller countries have less market power, so not only do they pay a more honest price, but they pay extra because we get it so cheap and the producers have to make up the costs elsewhere.

Because the US does not put enough tax on our gas. We need the gas tax to be about $2 per gallon higher to take care of all the gas hogs in our country.

IT IS IN HIGHER DEMAND IN EUROPE. PLUS, EVERYTHING IN EUROPE COSTS MORE THAN IT DOES HERE IN THE U.S.

Well it is easy,the USA does not hafta import all of their oil from other countries,the US has their own reservses in the country and the US has had major contrcts with most of the oil producing countries in the world.

Cause they are stupid consumers.. SCAMMED!

Partly supply and demand, partly US control on oil and party price fixing. Take these factors out and you have Brunei.

Brunei: I was there a couple of months ago and the price of gas is 50 Cents a litre. Ok, different country, but lets convert it.

Brunei $ = Singapore $ 1:1
Singapore $ is just less than the Candian $
Canadian $ is 86Cents US

Thats about 20 Pence per litre in the UK or 30 cents in the US. Explain that. Meanwhile people in Brunei are extremely highly paid by any standard.

They get 180 days off? Thats cool. BUT I DON'T!!

Now to the serious stuff. There are about 5 reasons why petrol is cheaper in thte U.S.A, and they are:-

1- Profit Margins
2- Taxes
3- Company Price Fixing
4- Traditional Marketing Methods (Aka *USA* Stack'em
High and Sell'em Cheap. And *UK* Stack'em Low And
Sell'em High"
5- Disposable Income USA v UK



Hope this helped to answer your question.

I can see that there are some of you that would have us ride bicycles like the Chinese have done for decades. Hey, I'm too old to ride a bicycle. I believe that IF we start running short of oil, we'll just take it from someone else!! As far as pricing, I want it as cheap as I can get it. If your worried about pollution....WALK. I'll wave at ya as I'm driving by, thank you very much!
