Gas Prices to High? Try Europe.

Americans might be complaining a little to much about gas prices. Europe has had to deal with soaring gas prices much longer than us. With prices over $7 in major areas of Europe it seems like American should be happy with our $3 a gallon. There is a good graph on the link that shows fuel economy trends of other major countries. It shows the United States at the bottom with an average of about 25 miles per gallon in 2005. It seems like we consume more gas then these other countries but only because our cars take almost double the gas than cars in other countries. So taking a look at the prices again our country doesn't really luck out with lower prices because we have cars that consume so much more gas. Maybe if America did pass regulations for automobile companies to make better fuel efficient cars we would be better off then Europe in gas prices.
