In May of 1973, before the first oil crisis, the average price of regular gas was 38.5 cents per gallon. In June of 1974 it had risen to 55.1 cents per gallon. I don't know the inflation ratio since then so I don't know what that means in adjusted dollars, but it didn't seem to take the bite then that it takes now.

Is it really that cheap in America.  I find it very difficult to convert a foreign gas cost due to the difference in monetary value & measurement (gallon vs litre).\n\nIf it is truly cheaper it probably has to do with the fact that we have a lot of powerhouses in the oil industry in our back pockets.  And those that we don't we intend to change by overthrowing their gov'ts.  Truthfully though, in reading up further on it its about the way a gov't is set up:\n\nThe main factor in price disparities between countries is government policy, according to AirInc, a company that tracks the cost of living in various places around the world. Many European nations tax gasoline heavily, with taxes making up as much as 75 percent of the cost of a gallon of gasoline, said a spokesperson for AirInc.

There really isn't much. All gasoline has to meet federal standards. Go for price.

Gas taxes provide the majority of the road upkeep in the country, which is underfunded as it is. How exactly would that help? Also, $.30 per gallon is not going to affect gas prices all that much. They will continue to go up, no matter what.

Scandinavia. And it's about 70 dollars per litre. And you people are complaining. Hell... The gas prices in the United States are amongst the lowest in the whole world.

That is a good point. I think most people would be greedy. I think personally I would take into account how much of that product people would need and wither people would be able to afford it. With gas it is used so much and by so many that they can afford to make it cheap and still get rich.

Anywhere I have looked, including Michigan, the wages are not what is too high. Utilities are too high. For that matter all our bills are too high. The common working family can't get by on what they make today. Sad truth.

Venezuela is the 8th largest oil producer in the world. They got supply coming out their ears...so, yes, approx 14c per gallon for gas is current price.\n\nUK doesn't produce any oil, and they are paying approx $6.40 a gallon. We produce some and we pay around $3. \n\nConstant price thru the world? Do you know ANYTHING that has a constant price all over the world? If everything was the same price, why would we have ships cruising around carrying stuff from one country to another? Stuff is priced differently cause certain countries can grow or make it cheaper than others. Sugar for example. It costs the US a ton of money to make sugar. In Brazil it grows like a weed. It is REALLY cheap there. But, rather than getting sugar cheap from Brazil...our government slaps a huge tariff on it, to make it equal the sugar prices from the US. Great. So, now instead of paying 10c a pound, I pay like $1. 10x what I could be paying. Why??? Well, just cause some sugar grower here in the US wants to keep growing something here that barely grows and takes a ton of work to make it grow. Makes no sense. Grow something else.

The Gas price problem is a combination of things.No1 because of the moron environmemtalists there are 40 different grades of gasoline in this country, also there is not enough refining capacity because a refiner has not been built in 30 years, and yes we should drill and use our own resourcrs

The reason I have a problem with it is because of how quickly the price of gas has gone up. Where I live, it has nearly doubled in the last year. If I only had to worry about driving to work or running errands, or I lived in a city where walking places were an option, then it wouldn't bother me. Unfortunately, I own a small business that is based on driving. I have to fill up everyday. My clients will not pay an increase month after month just because gas prices rise. The increase would've been fine if it were more gradual. However, because I have set-priced contracts with my clients that are binding for one year at a time, I may end up having to close my business.

I didn't know that, but on the Today show this morning they said a gallon of gas in Iraq is 35 cents and 12 cents in Venezuela!  We're getting ripped!
