Poor americans ...... T.ex. In the Netherlands it's Eur. 2.36/Liter (so $10.39/gallon) and it's NOT them that started the war.

Netherlands gas taxes are €0.845/L , supposedly the highest in the EU. Can't blame the US for that, and at least you're getting some value out of that gas tax. Here, though I too did not start this idiotic war, I don't get anything for the higher prices except richer billionaires
