I paid 1.20 euros/L in Germany in 2004, which at the time worked out to $6/gal. I'm sure a lot of that is tax...I've read it's about 60%. In the US, our federal gas tax is 18c/gal, and states add up to 33c/gal. So most of our gas money is going to the corporate profits and doesn't benefit us.
Personally, I would like to see a large gas tax funding public transportation like you have in Europe
