I know they are taxed higher than we are on fuel. In the UK I know over 1/2 the price is taxes. They also have better roads than we do, but that comes at a price. In the UK when they pave or improve a roadway it is expensive, but the contractor who does the work has to maintain it for 10 years at no additional costs. The good part on the maintenance end of it is the contractor won't do shoddy work since they have to fix anything they don't right the first time.
