Yeah, we UKers tend to get a little amused when you guys complain about high petrol prices.

Our reaction usually goes more along the lines of, "Gosh, that's cheap!" <g>
As Helga says, a large percentage of our prices go straight to the government in tax. :p
LabRat (who thinks there should be a law that when producers raise their prices because of a specific problem or cause, they should be obliged to lower them again when said cause no longer applies. Only fair... )
