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.

Here is a our Fearless Leader's comments on gas prices

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