\Last time I bought gasoline in Holland or the UK, it cost me roughly 
three times what I pay for it here in San Jose, CA. How much of that 
might be tax and how much the cost of the gasoline itself, I couldn't 
tell you ... the money out of my pocket is what I'm counting. And 
currently fuel around here has risen in price by almost 30%.
