    "Even the annual seasonal demand dip for gasoline during the lull between spring break and Memorial Day, which would normally help lower prices, is having no effect this year."

    The average price of a gallon of regular gasoline is $4.31 as of March 16, according to AAA, compared to $2.87 a year ago and $3.51 a month ago. According to data from GlobalPetrolPrices.com, an energy data tracking company, gas prices in the

    Gasoline Prices Will Stay High
    U.S. ranked 85th out of 170 countries it tracks, with the top spot being the least expensive (Venezuela) and 170 being the most expensive (Hong Kong). GlobalPetrolPrices updates its gasoline data weekly and has a different U.S. price, $4.69 a gallon as of March 14.

    Have a look at how the U.S. compares with other countries, and then we’ll discuss what factors contribute to differences between nations.

    Gas Prices Affected By Taxes, Oil Production
    Nevin Valev, owner of GlobalPetrolPrices, says several factors influence the differences between countries, mainly whether countries produce oil and the amount of taxes they charge.

    According to the Energy Information Administration, 56% of the price of gasoline in the U.S. goes toward paying for the oil, while 15% goes to taxes, 16% for distribution and marketing and 14% the cost of refining.

    So? For many of those nations, like the ones in Europe, they have incredibly high taxes on gasoline to pay for extensive public transit systems that hemorrhage losses in money. Are you suggesting that the US idiotically raise taxes on gasoline like the fucking tards in Europe have so we too can have inferior public transit systems?
