Yea gas was about 1/6 as much here as it was for you guys but now we are up to about 1/2 of what it is in the UK. Because we never had to be efficient (it was so cheap no one cared) we have cars that are very fuel inefficient and we don't live near the places we work. Also, no one ever wanted to take public transportation unless you were in on the 5 biggest cities in the country so that means of transportation isn't developed in 99% of the country.
