    Gas? It’s so much cheaper than the EU, even when it’s at its more expensive in the US

      Mhm, even when prices are at outrage levels in the US it’s probably half the price of what it typically sells for in Europe.

      The quality is a little better, though (e.g. less sulfur, typically of a higher octane rating).

        I have no clue here, so can you clarify your last sentence?

        Where is the quality better? Europe or USA?

          Europe has better fuel, due to generally more stringent requirements with regards to emissions.
