After living in Germany for 9 years, I understand your pain, brother. Even though I got cheap gas from the military, I had friends who had to pay all those taxes..
I look at gas prices like this; what is the next acceptable car you would drive, figure it's gas mileage savings, and then compare the comfort, pleasure of ownership, fun between the two. Sometimes, the savings might be a lot, but you have to give up the joy of driving.... high fuel costs are just the price of happiness. So I stopped even looking at the price of gas, as some here may know, since I just like to drive this car instead of a fuel efficient Honda or the like.
Maybe that mindset might ease some of your pain... just trying to help...
