Stovebold, we all get our gas from the same places. You can blame your governments over there for extreme taxation. The actual cost of the fuel here and there is the same, believe it or not. The additional money your government extorts from you to use the roads is confiscatory taxation. Plain and simple.

Granted, your roads are a lot better there, and your distances are much shorter to get from point "A" to point "B". But, I'd rather put up with a lesser-quality road and afford to drive my car than have pristine highways, but no money in my pocket to buy fuel to drive on those roads!!!
