I had no idea Europe included Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, The USA and Israel.
BTW if you look at petrol prices Britain is #5. So it's only diesel dummies that suffer, which is fine by me.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment

I don't suffer.

As a country the UK is rather dependant on people using cars to drive the economy. Public transport does not match other countries where petrol is cheaper. Here in Munich you've got trams, underground, s-bahn with double hight rail coaches, high speed city to city rail network at a fraction of the cost.
You could forgive high petrol costs if public transport was awesome, but it's not. Overcrowded, full of germs, expensive, and never on time!"Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment
