People need to stop converting Euro/Dollar in their comparison.
To do an accurate comparison you have to average it out vs salary. EU people get paid in EUR, US people get paid in USD, so comparing "Absolute" number will be more accurate. (Such as 2E/liter which is about E8 per gallon (compared to $8 per gallon)
And yes EU pay more, mainly as a result of their unelected Brussels governments misguided energy policy (or is it intentional?)
Funny how prices in CA are have reached the same price as EU due to the same misguided energy policy
