    With current exchange rates, that’s 1.09 € per litre. In Germany we pay 1.90 € per litre ( for the cheap stuff). So in Germany it is ~9.60$ per gallon.

        And it is not enough. To even begin to account for the externalized damages due to the total emissions car based transport, taxes need to be way higher still.

        Of course americans - land of the externalized costs - never gave a shit about that, and never will.
