Gasoline at the pump is fair game for a nation seeking revenue; out of the average price of 31? per gal. in the U.S., the consumer pays about 10? in taxes. Independents in the U.S. - which produces the world's most costly oil - pressured the Government to impose import quotas to protect them from cheaper foreign oil.
