Offtopic, but its sunday and not much action is going on here.
Yes, Americans do pay less for gas than probably anywhere else in the world, but like everything else, things are relative. Here are the differences between your gas price and ours:
1) We use more, we get volume discount.
2) We essentially own much of the oil in either owning companies like Exxon, and we do produce 40% of our own oil.
3) We drive more. Its a cultural thing. Public transportation is almost taboo here.
4) Another cultural thing, senior citizens "need" a 4x4 to drive to the grocery store, Wal-Mart, and church. No, I'm not making that up.
I'm sure there are other things as well, but that should be a good start.
Back to the relativity part, gas prices are going up here, but we don't get paid more at our job because of it. Here is a graph of historical gas prices: http://inflationdata.com/inflation/Inflation_Rate
