With current exchange rates, that’s 1.09 € per litre. In Germany we pay 1.90 € per litre ( for the cheap stuff).
So in Germany it is ~9.60$ per gallon.
And it is not enough. To even begin to account for the externalized damages due to the total emissions car based transport, taxes need to be way higher still.
Of course americans - land of the externalized costs - never gave a shit about that, and never will.

I’m not being shitty, but a real question. Do you have your own oil wells? We not only have our own oil, but we frack the shit out of our earth.
Doesn’t matter if you supply your own oil, it’s traded on world markets that determines the price.
The gas pricing map of the United States would contradict that.
TBF you tax the crap out of your gas.
That is a choice.
