No, it doesn't work that way. Boycotting gasoline isn't gonna do anything.

Prices vary wildly not only from state to state -- as much as 45 cents -- but even more so around the world.

By MSN Money staff

In 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.

In the United Kingdom, however, gas taxes provide 17% of the government's budget and make up more than three-quarters of the cost of a gallon of gasoline. Taxes in Italy, Germany and France raise 4% to 5% of the national budget revenues, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.

Here's a look at gas prices as of May 4, courtesy of AAA, and a state-by-state estimate of taxes per gallon.

Looks like the world oil fields are shrinking fast. Looks like we will have to use renewable energy like wind, solar, and tidal.

Frisky Feline

That is a good deal.. Mines in CNY The gas station's price is 2.19 that near our home. However, there are other less than 2.00 but it is a little far from our home.

My Durango gets about 18 mpg..of course, all that goes downhill when the AC is on and if I'm climbing mountain grades! Other factors would be tire pressure, how well-tuned the vehicle is, winds, etc...

CrazyMomma

19 in city and 28 in highway - I think.. I will have to ask my husband tonight.

Oddball

I read Review Journal newspaper today. I noticed that gas station in Baker, California is very expensive. It is 2.99 a gallon!!

Yes, Iraqi people pay 5 cents a gallon for gas. Lucky for them!!

sablescort
