Title: Gasoline Is Ridiculously Priced.
Post by: suckmymuscle on September 24, 2010, 08:23:22 AM
  Fuck petroleum, man. Gasoline is incredibly expensive. Furthermore, it stinks and destroys brain cells. I will retrofit my car engine to run with ethyl alcohol. It is much cheaper, cleaner and less toxic.

That's the reason noone drives a Hummer in Europe. A car like that would ruin some of the richest (insurance, taxes + gas).

My mate is an American car fan and spent lots of money and time doing up a 1980's Camaro. The only problem is that due to petrol prices in the UK he can't really afford to drive it that often.

internal combustion engine cars have been obsolete for decades now. big oil companies simply apply pressure to keep them from being released because they make Billions in profits of all the suckers who have to pay for gas.

Socialism. International market prices for a barrel of crudel is pretty much the same for everyone. It's taxes that jack up the price. The average tax rate in the U.S. which includes Federal, State and Local is about 20%. When you add in County and local taxes, and the ever present "hidden" fees, it's closer to 28%. And I believe that is way too much since they do absolutely nothing to bring that gallon of gas into your gas tank and considering the average profit margin for oil companies is 9% (profit margin for MicroSoft is around 33%). In Europe it's much more depending on the country. In Italy it's about 58% and in Britain it's hovering at 64%. So rounding off a gallon of gas in Britain at $8/gallon, $5.12 goes to the government.

All those give away programs aren't cheap. So when people take about free this or free that; for instance "free health care" -- there's no such thing. Someone is paying for it. And don't ever think it's the government. The government can pay for and give anybody anything simply because they have nothing to give. Whatever they give to one person they've taken from someone else.

Yes.
Many people cannot (or, refuse to) grasp the concept that the government does not earn one penny that it spends.

hopefully you understand why we are "lucky",  think about it. We buy our oil from the same source yet it cost more in Europe.

clearly this is intentional by your government since all of the price difference is due to petro tax.
