Why gas costs $8 a gallon in Europe
Original: Europe's $8-a-gallon gas, smaller cars, and cheaper EVs help explain the US gap
European fuel prices reaching the equivalent of $8 per gallon are being cited to explain why Europe drives smaller cars and adopts cheaper electric vehicles at higher rates than the United States. Higher taxes on gasoline, narrower city streets and costlier driving make fuel efficiency a priority, while American drivers face lower pump prices and favor larger vehicles. The comparison highlights how pricing and policy shape very different car markets on either side of the Atlantic.
Why now: Fuel price differences between Europe and the US are drawing renewed attention as electric vehicle adoption diverges between the two markets.
