I was talking about this with my dad the other day... he was saying that America has always had cheap gas, compared to other countries. The reason everyone is saying something is because of the rapid price jump over the last few years. In 2000, when I started driving, I remember you could get gas for $0.79/gal for regular. It does suck that gas prices have gone up so much in the last few years, but then I look at other places, and it makes it a little less painful. Granted, people in Europe do much less driving than Americans (Especially in the southeast it seems) do. But yeah... in the grand scheme of things... our gas is pretty cheap compared to Euro prices.
