All you guys have to do, over there in the USA, is make your
vehicles more fuel-efficient. Then you don't have to rely on
middle-eastern dictatorships/colonies to supply the oil. Over here in
Scotland, it's not perfect by a long way, but at least we have cars
which do decent miles-per-gallon (40+). A necessity, with gasoline
over $5/gallon.

Out of curiosity, I wonder how much of your per-gallon price is the actual
cost of product and how much is taxes or fees?

Most of it would be taxes or fees. The world price of crude is pretty much just
that, the world price of crude. The UK is paying pretty much the same price for
crude as we are.
