Gas has been much more expensive in Europe for some time now… I travel there once a year for work and always convert to see what their prices are. They find it funny that we are so upset about our gas prices, which is still cheaper than what they were paying years ago. We can actually learn quite a bit from Europe and how they have dealt with high gas prices. And since oil is based on the USD, if/when the economy picks up improving the value of the dollar its only going to get worse for them. ---
