Mobile data seems very expensive in the US compared to Europe, but the States seem to be cheaper in most other areas: e.g. Petrol/Gasoline - $3 per gallon in the States, over $8 per gallon in the UK now.


Most of Europe taxes gasoline very heavily to encourage alternatives and discourage use.

Here in Finland, roughly 75% of the price of gas at the pump is tax. Or in other words, we have a 300% gas tax.
