You can't compare the cost of a U.S. gallon of gas vs. what it goes for in Europe unless you compare every cost that's embedded into that gallon. If all the embedded taxes (state, local, etc) are the same, it's fair but I highly doubt they are. Income taxes between countries would have to be the same also for a fair comparison. Perhaps, they pay less income tax than we do, and their governments get the Uncle Sam money out of their high cost of gas.
