Despite people complaining about Fuel is still comparatively cheap and those complaining usually don’t actually care about gas prices but in reality are upset about “other” things real or imagined
I would estimate no one will really care until we are in the $8/$9 a gallon area until then I foresee no change in behavior as compared to the Bush era of gas price hikes every year
In Europe, we pay around €1.80 per litre, depending on which country you're in and where you buy it. I paid €2.06 per litre in Netherlands recently (though that was for premium E5 in a motorway service station, so the most expensive fuel and the most expensive place to buy it). This is a bit more that we're used to but much of our cost is tax so we don't see the huge fluctuations in the crude oil price.
