Same here. I saw diesel gets sold for less than one euro per liter (about $4 a gallon) at some stations, but gas still is 1.36 €/l ($5.50/gallon) at the cheapest.
It was like 1.80 €/l when oil was $100 a barrel...

Gas won't sink below the 1 euro per liter mark here until the oil price sinks below 30 dollars in the negative (i.e. you get $30 for taking a barrel)!

At least some of that tax money gets spent on new and better roads, my commute has seen steady improvements for that.
Two days ago a new section of road opened to ease traffic congestion at the east of Gouda, one month ago a second highway between Delft and Rotterdam opened, which freed up the seriously congested A13 that had an avalanche effect on roads far away, etc.

For confirmation go to people just like you.
For education go to people unlike yourself.
