Consider this:
When in France on business travel in 1996-97 ( think about the time frame, also), here's what I found on gas prices:
- gasoline... $6.00 / gal
- diesel ..... $ 4.00 / gal.
And to think that 13 years ago I paid $1.35 / gal... and sometime within the past two years it has wildly fluctuated...but still between $1.00 and $1.80 a gallon for regular unleaded....13 years of inflation later. Certainly, I can understand the issue on an "US-based" view.... but stand back and look at it also from a global perspective, with or without governement taxation added.
