I’d happily pay European-level taxes on my gas if my taxes didn’t purely fund war and keeping the rich in power
I’d happily pay European-level taxes on my gas if I had literally any alternative to driving in my area.
I’d pay those taxes if the dumb wars ended, we did not have a scammy healthcare system, and a public safety net that actually functioned well plus not having to use fucking middle men to pay my goddamn taxes every year…
How do you do, fellow non-Americans!? Colour me gobsmacked at the euros I’m paying when I procure my petrol (by the liter! this is non-negotiable) to fill my tiny aluminium moped.
You have to say quart instead of liter or they don’t get it. It’s close enough.

No idea about this. I drive a Honda Civic in the US, and hardly notice gas prices. I’m much more concerned about food prices, rent prices, and unemployment rate.

I’ve suggested this for ages to sell people on metric. Gas sounds cheaper per liter (smaller number), you weigh less in kg, etc. I don’t know why gas stations aren’t all over this with their shady marketing and 9/10 of a cent pricing.
Good thing my quality of life went down to protect checks notes baby eating pedofiles? OK…
Indeed, fuel in Japan is higher than in Europe. In the USA, fuel should take a backseat and the cost of healthcare should be the main topic for change.
Honestly when Americans chime in about anything going on in the world. When I hear an American complaining about another country or their actions, I just want Americans to sit down or go fix their own dumpster fire. I
To paraphrase Bill Nye, eye protection on; if you raise the cost of fossil fuels, fewer people will use them; eye protection off.
Maybe Europe should do something about it instead of getting on their knees for trump
