I want to pay venezula's price for a gallon of gas. That would be awesome! These figures don't surprise me. Most europe and asia countries pay high and most countries with a lot of oil reserves pay next to nothing.

It ends here.

This list is absolutely meaningless.

It does not take into consideration anything.

What is the average income for a citizen in each country?

How much is a gallon of milk?

How much is a dozen eggs?

Do much is health care?

How much is auto insurance?

What does the typical person pay for a car per month?

How much is average rent?


etc..etc and on, and on, and on, and on.

You can't just be like:

<hey guys it's $10 in the UK, no more complaining in the US.

Last time I went the states my widest father was earning a fortune delivering lays chips, living in a nice condo, nice car, going out every night to eat, drink, cinema, golf ,batting cages, watch the yankees. Let me tell you life of riley, delivering chips.

Mind you that was 16 years ago. Maybe things have changed, I don't know. Anyhow shouldn't we all have a decent life on this vast and free planet?

....

Average US income is - against all odds, bitching and crying - among the highest on the world. What you're asking about is GDP Purchase Power Parity per capita; US are again ranking very high.
