Mary, seriously, you've gone off the deep end here babe. It all comes down to simple math. If you calculate all the different currencies back to one single currency and then see how much gas people can buy based on their yearly income it's NOT hard to reach the conclusion that people in the UK can buy a lot LESS. I don't get what's so hard to understand about that.

(Oh, and many people have already researched the differences between median household incomes and really, Europe averages below the United States.)


Vanessa 'pays way too freakin' much for gas also' G.

I never said Europe didnt pay exorbitant gas prices. but I dont think you can actually compare dollars to Euros or Pounds and then act like the price at the pump per Pound versus the price at the pump per Dollar is all that different.

nobody's doing that - we've helpfully converted all comparisons into US dollars for you
