Gasoline is highly (albeit indirectly) subsidized in America and sells for only about $1.60 a gallon.

Christ, Doug, what color is the sky on your planet? We're paying $2.03 a gallon where I live.

Obviously, it's regional. You guys just siphon your gas directly out of the Alaskan pipeline, but some of us have to actually PAY for the stuff.
