When we have to buy gas we will be so pleased at the price.
So we just smile when we hear complaints about US gas prices.
I read online that about 72% of the gas price in the UK is for taxes - both fuel duty and Value Added Tax (VAT). That means that the actual price is only about 28% of price at the pump.

It is like the price of cigarettes. In some states, the government makes more per pack than Big Tobacco.

I don’t smoke but I do drive!!
