Yeah, but it's not like they set gas prices based on how far people drive... and in the rest of Europe, prices aren't that different (and people still drive pretty far). I know some people in Iceland who drive every day between Keflavík and Reykjavík, and I'm sure you saw the truck drivers protesting the high prices the last few weeks. So I don't think it really gets equalized... it just depends on your particular commute and salary.
