I think gas price will play a big role in the upcoming election in the US. I agree with Amy: the lack of viable public transportation in places like Southern California plus the long drive to work more than made up for the lower gas prices in the US as compared to Europe.

I put in a little over 100 miles a day for a round trip just to go to work. Sitting in traffic for two hours just to travel 15 miles doesn't help either. With my compact, I fill up about 5 times every 2 weeks. At $3.55/gallon (Southern California) that's $100/week. And my commute isn't even that far compared to many of my friends' commutes! If gas were to cost as much as it did in Europe, some people would be paying more for gas than they did for rent!

I live in the Pacific Northwest and I just paid $3.20 for regular. My SUV friends used to tease me, they said my Subaru was 'so small' and 'cute'. 30mpg compared to 15mpg...it is cute isn't it.

"Gas is cheaper than water". Here in Canada it's $.98 per liter. A bottle of water at 7/11 is $1.25 for .5 liter. Much has been made recently of Venezuela’s prices. “Gas is cheaper than water”.
