Actually...you guys have cheap gas also. Your government just rips you off XD

Fuel Tax - PetrolPrices.com That is what I base my crappy 3 seconds of analysis on. That your liter of gas is about 60% tax or something crazy like that. Tax for us is something really low. On $4 a gallon I think tax in Illinios is probably makes up 10% of that.

Our higher prices are due to market. If our government charged 60% for taxes on the price we still wouldn't be as high as you guys are but we wouldn't be a lot closer.

Please correct and inform me if I am wrong.

EDIT: Also, we don't have leaded gas over here. I recall a few years ago when I was in england, you guys had leaded gas at your stations. I am not sure if any place in the USA has leaded gas still. I have never seen it. Just a different observation that may or may not have anything to do with the price.
