That's really my point. In general, about 50% of the cost of a gallon of gas is attributable to the cost of crude oil. I can't find any recent data for 2004, but historical data shows this. About 30% of this is taxes. Taxes on gasoline in Great Britain and Europe are SIGNIFICANTLY higher. (in the order of 5 to 7 times higher). So if you can get about 20 gallons of gas per barrel at a current market rate of $39 per barrel (US Dollars), the you are looking at raw cost of roughly $1 per gallon of gasoline (42 gallons per barrel with 20 gallons of that being gasoline). Production methods are pretty much identical wherever you refine crude oil, so you have a pretty consistent cost worldwide. So price differences are pretty much either due to differences in taxation, distribution cost (which can vary significantly due to geography or infrastructure), and profit. If you have a multinvendored environment, competition will likely keep this at around 10-15%. My point is that taxes are a large part of this. If you live in Europe, taxes are a HUGE part of the cost of gasoline.

It wouldnt be so bad if they spent the revenue gained on reapiring the roads, or improving them significantly, but they dont !! They waste this easy earned money on wars, and huge government departments which do f*ck all and get huge salaries for doing it !!!
