This is a Triumph list, not a political list.  But...

The "World" price - whatever that is - differs from the US price largely in 
the amount of tax added in each country.  The US doesn't have a stranglehold 
on the "World" oil supply and doesn't set "World" prices to keep gasoline 
artificially low-priced here.  And we certainly don't get any great deals 
from the multinational oil companies that supply us.
