In the UK, 50% of the price of gas is TAX (sales and VAT). Last I checked, the dems have been in charge of congress for the last couple years. Maybe the $4 gas prices just sneaked up on them. The US and Europe are apples and oranges. Europe has a very good train and mass transit infrastructure. The US, as a whole does not. Its an auto driven transportation system. Maybe instead of your typical, lame, tired, weak, and worn "its Bush's fault" mantra, you should look at some other factors; like the Big Three killing mass transit funding all over the country. Or congress settling for a pathetic rail system called Amtrak.
