With all due respect Bruce, comparing gas in the US to Canada or Ireland or Sweden doesn't fly. While int his case the US and Ca dollar at nearly at par, the taxes involved are the main reason you pay more. IOW, your fuel is far more heavily taxed than ours, which is scary when you think about it. Here in my area of NY we're paying $3.75 a gallon as of last night. 70 cents of that is tax added on to the price. That doesn't include all the unseen taxes on the refineries, etc. that are in the mix long before it gets to the distributor. Every tax on an item gets passed on to the consumer.
Someone mentioned greed. Well, what's more greedy- the oil companies making approx 9 cents a gal after all the costs of exploration, development, refining, etc. or the gov't with absolutely no investment at all in the product getting 70 cents a gallon of pure profit?
So the next time someone wants to complain about costs, remember taxes, regulation, etc make up a large portion of what you are paying.
