What's everyone complaining about? At least you got nice smooth roads in cali. I'm willing to pay more if they just %##% fix the damn roads and teach people how to drive better.

I would figure this to be more a fault of the wars that have plagued them for long, and infrastructure; and possible tanker hijackings.

Fill your car with Venezuelan gas and don't come crying home with a crapped out emissions control system. Their gas is LEADED fuel. That's why it's cheap as hell.

Also, note that the European countries have higher taxes on fuel so their actual cost of fuel isn't that different from ours. Could be cheaper for all we know. It's the taxes that the gov't put that make it more expensive than US gas.
