Exactly. I would bet that the average European's cost of driving a given distance is about the same as the average American's. Gas costs twice as much per gallon/liter, but the car goes twice as far on that gallon.

Or my favorite calculation these days, which you may appreciate: At $4/gal, cost to drive 100 miles in 15 mpg SUV = $26.67. Cost to drive 100 miles in Insight = $5.62.

response:
It is obvious that you didn't read the links provided. Or, even if you did read them, you have nothing to offer in response but puerile ridicule.

No matter. If others read it and understood it they aren't busy making fools of themselves by making inane retorts.

After I provided links that describe and explain the political, historical and economic aspects of Fascism, this is your response: another childish retort in attempt to justify your jeering. Your disagreement is with historical fact; and not only is your view erroneous, your mocking attitude IS puerile.
