Good point. I went on vacation in England in 2001and was quite shocked at the taxes on gas. I think in California the tax on gas is like .9 of 1 cent or something like that. I see the point of the Europeans' tax on gas though--to diminish demand and push people toward public transport. It would apply/might be beneficial in some parts of the US but probably not across the board.
