Granted a lot of European cities have better mass transit and are more centralized than many US cities, but they are surviving. How? - small cars and diesels power are commonplace there. The major reason that the Europeans pay so much for gas is because their governments tax the hell of of there citizens. The UK has a 76% tax on gas. If you took away the taxes, the cost would be about the same. I know that (I was being lazy and just didn't bother to type it in), but the net result is still the same. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Could you imagine what Europe is paying now - if they aren't adjusting the taxes to keep the pricing steady (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banghead.gif)
