Not when you don't have to factor in the cost of a bloated military to insure that we continue get "OUR" cheap oil... ;-)
Also neither the environmental cost nor the health costs of burning petroleum in cars and trucks are paid for in the cost of OUR gasoline... Europe was "stupid" enough to invest in a great inter-city rail system including in many cases high-speed rail. The great cities of Europe are also laid out in such a way that most of the time one doesn't need a car around town either...silly Europeans. I'd rather travel by rail and Metro in Europe than by air OR motor vehicle anywhere else.
