I hate that comparison.
1. The Europeans have mostly cars that go between 38-60 miles per gallon.
2. The Europeans don't have to drive the same distances than we do.
3. The Europeans have public transportation as an alternative to get to work.
4. The Europeans tax gas and re-invest the money in healthcare, education, and infrastructure.
I'd gladly pay 8 bucks per gallon in a 55mpg car, if I only had to drive 200 miles a month, if I had free health care and my kids could go to college for free.
