We still got it easy.



Bet you can't drive across the US on one tank like he can.

Fact of the matter is, take the Europe vs. US gas prices with a grain of salt. While it may take you 5 miles to get to the grocery store here, it will take someone in Europe 5 minutes by foot.

You may drive 20 miles to work here, where they drive 5.

Public transportation is excellent throughout Europe, even in small cities and places out in the boonies, so cars are not a necessity like they are here.

And you've got a LOT more gas friendly cars over the pond.

On the other side, there's Venezuela, where gas is $.14 .
