PRICE AT THE PUMP - AROUND THE WORLD
What would you pay for a gallon of gas around the world? As you can see below, the price ranges from almost triple the US average across most of Northern Europe (due to fossil-fuel taxes and emerging carbon-cap regulation) to small fractions of the US average in many heavy-production countries (due to government subsidies for its citizens).
