Valid point. The US has the luxury of the cheapest gas in the world, yet people cry everytime there is a minor hike in the prices.
Oddly, even with the higher costs in Europe, my cost per mile is still better than when I was driving my 1992 Previa in the US (14-15mpg). A van I bought thinking that all 4cyl Toyota cars could expect to get something in the decent 20's mpgs. Not so. I didn't do enough research beforehand. However, doing research afterwards is what led me to ecomodder.com so theres your silver lining. ;-)
