At the moment the price of diesel in the UK is about £1.15 a litre.
There are 0.22 Gallons in a litre
Assuming an exchange rate of roughly 2 USD = 1 GBP
You are complaining that you have to pay about 33% of the price that I do.
And what kind of monstrosity gets 24 MPG? 3.5 tonne GLW vans get better MPG than that!

1: Imperial gallons and US gallons aren't the same thing
2: A lot of our major metropolitan areas are as far apart as your country is long and it isn't practical to build public transportation unless we're going to double everyone's tax rates.
3: What portion of your fuel cost is tax?
