Reply #47: Fuck the Oil Barons... [View All]

Ok, now they are making a claim that EUROPE has higher gas prices but the dont tell you that 80% of the population uses public transit and trains to get everywhere. Unlike the US where everything is spralled out, Europe is NOT. Also, the dont drive gas guzzlers like we here is the states do and they get around 40 to 50 miles a gallon...

I have German bud, goes to school in Indiana. Well he just went home for 6 weeks and what did he do besides see his lover and family? Well he flew to Spain for oh.. $100.00 round trip.!

Europe isnt as dependent upon Fossil fuel as we are, yes they do use it. But the reason its as high as it is stated in the article is because they use less of it so they oil companies charge them more to get more out of them when they do have to get gas..

The article is misleading..Its a "Oh, its not so bad, look what their paying" bullshit line..WE ARE GETTING SCREWED....You really dont want to know how much gas is in South America, but I will tell you anyway, last I checked it was around $1.25 a gallon if not cheaper.
