Hey guys. I know this is a bit off topic but everyone here is pretty knowledgable about all things reguarding cars and most are into all things European. So heres my research "question/topic". What is the reason for gas prices being so much higher in europe than the states? If you want to comment with personal knowledge thats cool too but what I really want is where people have written articles, papers, etc with statistics, numbers and all the technicals surrounding the issue.
