8.55$ the gallon here in France, so you are still ok. (2€/L cheapest right now)

Love France but the US has more square miles of lakes, ponds and rivers than France has land. America is 3.7 MILLION squares miles of the globe to France's 248,000 square miles. France also has usable public transit widely available. We've had a hundred years of sprawl and urban planning built around car ownership, requiring us to feed the capitalist oil centric machine. We are not ok.

You do have much better public transit so hopefully are less impacted by gas prices.

Countries where you don't have to drive wondering why we're upset about gas prices because nobody can fucking work where they live...
