I've talk with people from the UK once in a while and while gas maybe $4
or $5 /gallon, ask them what their heating oil costs for their houses
and it is typical of what it is in the USA.
The european gas prices are due to taxes, nothing else.
If they want to have low gas prices, they need to vote in some new
government and get the taxes chopped out.
