There is some truth to the argument that Europe and the US are not comparable as Europe is much tighter geographically and has much better existing mass transit networks available to the normal population so GAS prices shouldn't be compared directly.

Then again regardless of how much profit the oil companies are legitimately allowed to make on the " free market " the bigger question will be how long the Gas prices will last at this high price level once "peak Oil" is reached without forgetting most roads and all Plastic products are also made from oil.
