n mid-April, here's what you would have paid for a gallon of unleaded in eight countries around the world:

Belgium $4.73

France $4.75

Germany $5.14

Italy $5.08

Netherlands $5.61

United Kingdom $5.31

Spain $3.72

Japan $3.34

On Tuesday, the average price of a gallon of unleaded in the United States was $1.844, according to the government's Energy Information Administration.

In the United States, each gallon of gasoline is taxed 18.4 cents by the federal government and then with excise and sales taxes in each state. The tax per gallon averages 42.7 cents, slightly over 20% of the price of $2-a-gallon gasoline. Less than 1% of the federal government budget comes from the gas tax.

Here in Arizona.. $2.19 a gallon for reg unleaded.

So, I guess it could be worse...............

AZ

2.09 - 2.12 Reg Unlead local here :/

$2.25-2.45 in socal

It was $2.13 outside of Milwaukee last night. Glad I don't like in SoCal.

I know we Kentuckians take a lot of abuse about being hillbillies, but...

Regular Unleaded @ 1.869 yesterday.

$2.37 for premium in Ellensburg, WA.

Nor cal regular unleaded $2.20 to $2.37

The sad part about the pricing in CA. is that all of our gasoline is refined right here, it should be cheaper yet we are without a doubt higher than the rest of the nation. BS

Thanks Bass.

They are way too damn high, and if John Kerry had his way there would have been an additional 50 cents per gallon added to the overinflated prices we are paying today! Of course Kerry will deny the hell out of that but he tried to get that tax through Congress......thank God it failed!

RasDas..

El Paso has always been a great place for gas.

Not bad for gasoline too.

I have tons of family in El Paso and try to get there every 2-3 years. We'll need to hook up next time I'm there...

Meanwhile I pay 2.39/up here in Kirkland, WA

A lot of the difference in price is the State gas tax and some states even add sales tax on top of it. You can blame all that on your State politicians or at least the people who vote them into office. It is easier to dump these taxers than go on bended knee to the middle east and beg the sheiks for a few more barrels. In fact if all you people started to use a lot less gas, these State politicians would probably have to INCREASE the gas tax more on you to make up for the lesser amount of gallons you buy. Oh, I almost forgot, we can't drill anywhere or build any new refineries either.

Yesterday, the price was anywhere from 1.89 to 2.05 here in Cleveland. Today, it went up again to 2.13. I know it's not the owners fault. They are just trying to make a living.

But doesn't all this make you want to go radical, and throw a malotov at the stations screwing you? LOL.

Just kidding about the malotov.
