The US gas price includes their tax rate of $0.26 to $0.64 per gallon as well.

Just one more way for our government to screw us over.

When I bought my truck (Xterra, has a supercharger) in 2004 gas prices were up there, but not so much that I thought the premium for paying for premium exceeded that which I was paying to maintain my previous vehicle to keep it on the road (VW Passat - it was a total lemon costing me several $$thousands every year just to keep it going).

Nowadays, not so much. $1.30 hurts and when regular hits $1.30 I'll be at $1.40.

Like BMWRider, I can't wait for this snow and cold to go away so I can start riding MY bike. Except mine has pedals instead of an engine so I get about "infinity" mpg. Just takes a little longer sometimes to get from point A to point B.

I'll bet there's still some sort of gas involved though Tony.
