Thanks to Al's Morning Meeting reader Phil Yacuboski, nightside assignment editor for WBAL-TV in Baltimore, for sending me
this story from CNNMoney about how U.S. gasoline prices are peanuts compared to many other countries:
Out of 155 countries surveyed, U.S. gas prices were the 45th cheapest,
according to a recent study from AIRINC, a research firm that tracks
cost of living data.
The difference is staggering. As of
late March, U.S. gas prices averaged $3.45 a gallon. That compares to
over $8 a gallon across much of Europe, $12.03 in Aruba and $18.42 in
Sierra Leone.
Huh, seeing $18 gas compared to our $3.50 doesn't make...
