price of gas going up?

[Inchante]

I live in New Hampshire USA and I have to drive about 75 miles (120 km) per day for my commute to and from work. I am currently paying about $3.85 per US Gallon ( 0.64 British Pounds per liter). My car gets about 30 miles per gallon and this now costing my over $200 per month for gasoline.

To Europeans this may sound cheap, but there is an untold story to what appears to be cheap petrol. If you add in the taxes we pay to maintain our military presence in the Middle East and the wars that go with it, we are really paying about $10 per gallon (about what Europeans are paying, or even a bit more).

Hah, we don't even get most of our oil form the Middle East. We get the largest amount from Canada. We are paying to acquire and protect oil that goes to other countries.
