I spent a month in Oregon a few years ago on a house exchange, and virtually every single day there was an article in the local paper complaining about the price if fuel for cars. (Unusually for the USA Oregon does not have a sales tax).

I guess fuel was at that time about 25% of the cost of fuel in the UK at the time.

When our swappers came back the first thing he said was "I'll never complain about the price of gas again".
