From the October 11, 2012, "Who Knew? Gas Prices Around the World."
Obviously, Americans are complaining about these ridiculously high gas prices. I know here in the Chicagoland area, we are really mad about California passing us for most expensive gas. After all, you always want to be #1 at something and our baseball teams definitely aren't.
I understand gas in San Diego is $4.73 and some folks are even crossing over to Mexico to get cheaper gas.
Some prices here in northeast Illinois: Fox Lake: $3.90, Richmond $3.90, Lake Geneva, Wi. $3.78 and Twin Lakes, Wi. $3.80.
But, in other countries, you can expect to pay even more. In Norway, a gallon of premium will set you back $10. In Japan $7.50. In England $8. And in Canada $5.50
The poor folks in Venezuela, Chavez Land, pay a whopping 18 cents!!! I feel for them.
Gas prices in the U.S. would even be higher except for a government $14.2 billion subsidy to keep prices lower.
I know I'm not getting rich off these gas prices. I wonder who is getting rich?
