The taxation we pay varies from one country to another - you might get cheaper fuel elsewhere but they claw it back elsewhere.
For example the average taxation compared to GDP works out so:
Ireland 32.6
lSpain 33.0
Portugal 33.6
New Zealand 35.4
Canada 35.7
Greece 34.0
United Kingdom 35.5
Germany 36.5
Netherlands 42.2
Norway 41.9
Italy 42.1
Austria 42.3
high-tax
France 43.4
Belgium 44.9
Finland 46.2
Denmark 49.0
Sweden 50.5
And I think you'll find European prices of fuel are pretty similar now we're the second most expensive after Norway but there's only pence in it
