Of course, gasoline here in the US is still
very cheap compared to Europe - about Euro 1.42 per liter in Wageningen,
Netherlands. If I calculate correctly, that comes to ~US$7.30 per gallon,
or more than twice the price in North Jersey.

Don't most european countries subsidize mass transit (railroads) with
gas taxes? I remember hearing this in Switzerland, but was under
the impression many European countries do the same.

Actually, not a bad idea, at least for the northeast, southeast,
Chicagoland, and So Cal. US.
