gas prices around the world are 100% taxes. The US has the lowest taxes among the countries that tax gas and don't subsidize it, but we have no where near the lowest gas prices. European countries are the worst at taxing the crap out of gas.
Without taxes their gas would be the same as ours is if we had no taxes.
Please do the world a favor and learn the facts before you spout off stupidity.
btw, the people of kuwait spend about 36 cents a gallon on gas. The rest of the middle east isn't far off that mark either.
