>Ya'll don't know how good you have it over there.... in the U S of A. There are political reasons why gasoline is cheaper in the US than many other places. Its probably not the right place to get into it, but its not hard to find studies that show that Americans pay anywhere from $10 to $15 a gallon for gas. These studies use things like the cost of the military which keeps the oil flowing out of the the mideast, cleanups for oil spills, corporate tax breaks for the oil companies and on and on and on. Its not so much the 'size of the needle,' as it is 'where they stick it in.' :-) John |
