Gasoline price makes no sense? I don't mean "insanely high, lots", I mean insane pattern?

1. simple minded people say: "I hate paying" but don't look at the big picture. the BIG picture is literally insane! it makes no sense?

2. take a country with medium price: Japan $4 gallon. if that is value? then why here more? see pictures

but u. s. is actually much better price in big picture. we are cheaper price than 120 countries! those cheaper than us: 30 countries, are due to: 'government subsidy paid in those countries' leaving just "a few really cheaper" than here.

3. how does it make any sense that japan is $4 but Europe is double that? $8 and even more in pictures!

is this just to make people angry? because it isn't the value?

a. we whine most! but it is fake! just to hate trump! because TV said so? our price is lower than average and cheaper than most countries GET SOME PROPORTION people!

u. s. is unusually low and less than $5.80!

b.

gallon/$ in asia. south korea is AVERAGE

c.

median prices but if that is value?

how Europe more?

how does all this make ANY sense unless artificial rise to make people angry?

the Oil companies are price gouging again. A few years ago, the USA Congress put a stop to the price gouging... temporarily.

We probably need another congressional hearing to investigate what the real price of gasoline should be at the pump.

This is capitalism at its worst. This is why there are anti-monopoly laws in most developed nations.

Gasoline prices today are the function of decisions made by gasoline futures investors a while back. They will change their bidding anytime something big happens in the news.

in which country?

[Dargil]

Every country. European gas prices are much higher from high taxation and protecting mass transportation.
