Gas Prices

In the U.S., we've got it good, actually

What the heck is the "real" price of gas??
In Bosnia-Herzegovina, the price of gas is $10.16 (the highest in the world), whereas in Venezuela, the lowest, it's $0.12. That's 12 cents, folks.

This doesn't take into account different salaries in different countries, or the different exchange rates. And then there's the varying distances people drive, the public transportation options available, and the different services people get in exchange for high gas prices. For example, Europe's stronger social safety net, including cheaper health care and higher education, is paid for partly through gas taxes.

Is the environmental/ecological element factored in?

What to make of this? The world is a mess.
And if you can smuggle gas from Venezuela to Bosnia-Herzegovina, more power to ya.

Some experts say cheap gas prices have also lulled Americans into a cycle of buying bigger cars and bigger houses further away from their work - leaving them more exposed to rising prices. U.S. gas prices average $3.45 a gallon. That compares to over $8 a gallon across much of Europe. The U.S. thus ranks 45th cheapest out of 155 countries surveyed, recently.
