Oil trades on world markets and everybody pays the same price. The difference is taxes. Most retail products are quoted pre-tax, gasoline is always quoted after taxes. Some countries subsidizes gasoline prices, other countries regulate prices. When Europeans buy gasoline, they also get health insurance and other public services with it. ]]> Thu, 14 May 2009 15:37:16 -0400
