You're right, except for the funny math that ignores the real cost of the
product. If you drive in America, you need to include the cost you pay in
Federal taxes for our military presence around the world to keep that oil
flowing. European gas is a relative bargain and not "socialized" like ours,
where even people who don't drive have to pay for it to keep the cost
seemingly low for the ones who do.

I know all this discussion belongs elsewhere, but it's hard not to reply
when the topic is something that everyone really needs to be aware of, like
using the right oil filter in a Vanagon.
