My point is that there are people paying much more. And as a trade off a lot of those places have to pay to have clean running water even if their gasoline is like, .12$

...Sorry to butt in... But you have a point. They may be paying less... But, in most of those countries, they make less than we would. You know?

Turly. When you look at the economies of those countries v. the economies of the countries closest to us in prices, income, etc... we're doing pretty damn well on the gas market. Its wholly unfair to compare us to a country who's currency we're kicking in the ass.

True the Euro has an edge on us, but not nearly as much as we do on most of those places.
