A lot of money from the price of gas goes to tax.

In Canada it's even higher I believe. Something like 50% is tax if I remember correctly.

Global Gas Prices*
(1 gallon=3.8 L)

Most expensive per gallon:

Hong Kong: $5.38
London, England: $5.05
Oslo, Norway: $4.54
Seoul, South Korea: $4.52
Paris, France: $4.28


Least expensive per gallon:


Caracas, Venezuela: $0.40
Jakarta, Indonesia: $0.45
Kuwait City, Kuwait: $0.76
Manama, Bahrain: $0.82
Abu Dhabi, UAE: $0.92

but that's for $1.35 per gallon; since 2002 the tax did not increase, oil proces increased some, but I believe most of the increase is going into somebody's bottom line mad:

Isnt it ironic that the strongest nation is in the hands of several large opec companies.

Dude Iraq doesnt have much oil to begin with....thats why they invaded Kuwait back in 91. If you look at Iraqs coastline, you can see that their actual territory of beach is alot smaller in comparison to their neighbors. Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the other nations have a shit load of more oil than Iraq.

ya the problem for sadam in 91 was not that didnt have alot of oil....he just needed alot more because his current amount was not covering his huge war debt from fighting a 10 year losing war with iran. kuwait just seemed to him like an extremely wealthy and easy target that would solve all of his problems.

that's production though,
no point in Iraq producing a lot of oil in 2002 when no one could buy it due to Un sanctions
