I watched a report on the morning news... More than half of the cost in England is taxes...

Re: "Think Gas is High, Try Europe" -Time magazine
So, directly from the article:
France: $8.67, with 70% being taxes Here: $4, with about 11% being taxes Take out tax, and France gets a gallon for $2.60 While here, without tax, it's $3.56 Anyone care to guess why there's such a huge difference? |

If we reach ~$8/gal, people will have to make a median or better salary to be able to afford to drive, which will mean less demand on gas.... but on the plus side, congestion should be nill.
