If I'm not mistaken, though, the UK and most of Europe collect far more in fuel taxes than is used to maintain the roads. The rest goes to general revenue - which is why prices are significantly higher than in the US.
PS: Where the price, at least around here, has dropped about$0.15/gal in the last few weeks. Had to put some in the pickup tonight, and it was $3.46, down from I think $3.59 or so last time I looked.
