Yep that's what I thought...
Remember that in America we will soon be paying $4.00 a gallon on top of 30 to 60 thousand a year tuition for the kids, with an averge commute of 30-45 minutes each way and paying our own health care to the tune of 400+ per human per month.
I pay $0.45 cents per gallon in taxes, not $4.00 per gallon in taxes.

Just to fill in the blanks
How much does it cost to send your children to "University" ? A
minimum of $24,000 per child per year
How much does your health coverage cost? About 11-12% of your salary taken in the form of National Insurance (which allegedly also includes pensions that we'll never see)
How large is the country you live in? 93,000 Square Miles, population 60 million
How far is your average commute? 54 minutes per day, 86 minutes in London (me personally 2hr 40 minutes and 110 miles round trip)
And how much of that gas price, is TAX? 63%
Hope that answers your question/statement?
