In Ireland "gas" is €1.69 per litre (gallon is approximately 4.5 litres). About 95c of that is tax.
Europe sadly already has socialism or countries running socialist programmes, so it won't be much of a change except on the diplomatic front cos France will be less likely to jump into bed with Germany.
3.8L=gallon that would make the gas €1.58 per L in France if WW is correct
15%
Hmm My gas would only be €0.80L >> i knew US oil was cheaper but now i wont complain if it goes up a bit

Europeans have cars(non electric) that get 80MPG though, something we don't have. Government would never allow cars with that kind of efficiency here, where would they get the taxes to fund the roads if cars were that miserly with fuel?

It's a true story, cars are more efficient here, you should look at Fords new international concept Focus...it's the same model in Europe and the US.
I think the main difference is we consider a 2L engine quite big, and you guys seem to consider it a minimum

please tell me you did not just call a 2L engine "quite big". please. that's a nice 1992 toyota corrolla, which is great, but by no means "quite big".It's a true story, cars are more efficient here, you should look at Fords new international concept Focus...it's the same model in Europe and the US.

Engine size in the UK goes hand in hand with fuel prices. Most people run around in 1.6L cars, it is just not economical to have anything larger unless you've no care about money. Just looked at the pump prices ad the cheapest around me is £1.36/L for petrol or £1.43/L for diesel. And while we have more economical vehicles, seems 1 in a million actually understand how to drive in a conservative manner.
I believe that if life gives you lemons, you should make lemonade... And try to find somebody whose life has given them vodka, and have a party.
