I saw something on one of the educational channels regarding gasoline prices in the United States and what affects them. I was surprised to learn that it's state and local regulations concerning fuel additives and emission standards, as well as taxes, that account for the significant price differences in different parts of the US. California, for instance, is about 30 cents higher than the national average right now.
Also, as to prices in the European nations, can anyone inform me as to what makes gasoline so expensive in your countries?
