Do you ever wonder what someone in another country pays for gasoline? Do you ever wonder why they pay more or less than we do in La Jolla? The other day I was at our desert home and decided to see what Costco charged for gas as opposed to a Shell station a block away.
vs.
To take it further, I went online to view what other countries pay for gas and here is a list below of what the average cost of gas is in other countries. I continue to ponder why we are paying so much... there doesn't seem to be a rational reason. If you have one, please let me know!

Interesting information, Thanks
Europe has had high gas prices for a long time. I believe high gas prices will lead to more innovation in alternative fuels. Bring on $5/gal!
