Crazy eh? Apparently, these prices include taxes, thats why the UK is so high on the list, but my question is about why Puerto Rico; why do they get fuel so cheap? Either way, I'll remember this list the next time I'm at the pump. I may still gripe about the $3+ a gallon, but at least I won't cry all day about it anymore.
