And in Germany where the gas prices are $7 per gallon, taxes account for 65% of the price. 

And those taxes help fund the "green" initiatives in Germany and the high prices force people into mass transit which also gets a portion of the gas taxes..

With the EPA now regulating CO2 and the Dept of Interior stopping all off shore drilling and stalling land permits and California Botox Boxer introducing a bill to kill drilling off California coast you will see these types of taxes and price increases coming soon to a pump near you.

$4 a gallon won't stop me from driving but it will hurt the lower middle class and poor disproportionally.
