Europeans allready pay more than triple what we do and yet they still buy their fuels because they need to. It's a shame you are such a closed minded individual.
You seem to be real good at posting lies and not very good at finding primary sources of information. That's odd for someone claiming to be a geologist who worked for the oil industry.

Those are the weekly EIA reports for gasoline and diesel in various countries compared to the US. None of those European countries have gasoline or diesel prices more than 3 times what we pay. The price of the commodities is basically the same and it's the taxes that are different. You can get the price from the EIA excluding taxes by just using the EIA links for petroleum.

Here is one for gasoline and notice the weekly commodity prices are about the same:

Notice the weekly commodity prices of gasoline in the UK and France are actually cheaper than the US.
1. I know how to find primary sources of information and prove somebody is just making things up.
2. How did I know it was a lie?
a. I've researched all the energy sectors before.
b. Your lips moved.
Here is the home page for the EIA and even though it's a little harder to navigate than it once was, you can find energy reports on nearly anything in any country.
U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA)
Of course, being a geologist, you would know that! Now, what were you saying about me being a revisionist?
How about that price at the pump or do you ignore that price for a reason? Although I must say, French prices have stayed constant where ours have gone up considerably, so at the moment French drivers are only paying 2.3 times what we pay per gallon of gas.
The Uk though is worse, the drivers there are paying 6 pounds 22 which equals out to around 10 bucks per gallon, so there they are indeed paying triple what we do.
So piss off liar.

I gave you the latest weekly prices with and without taxes and proved you wrong. You're the one who claimed the prices in Europe for gasoline and diesel are more than three times what they are in the United States. That makes you the liar and the lie has been proven with PRIMARY sources and not a Denialista's mouth.
Face it Dude, you're out of your league! I've spent years on Q&A sites, before political sites and know how to find information that can't be disputed. It doesn't take long to figure out anything you say is suspect, so you can either stick to the facts or do a whole lot of posturing to try to make your "shooting fish in a barrel" opinions look good!
Even a right-wingers isn't going to believe your lies, though I'm sure they appreciate your failed efforts for their cause.
