Other countries pay 7 dollars a gallon for fuel, the US pays 4 a gallon. How do other countries function with such high fuel prices? How do things get transported? How does the economy run?

Can’t talk about other regions, but for Europe:
* People drive more efficient cars (pickups are nearly non-existent in Europe).
* The distances are generally shorter than in the US and more of the continent is accessible by sea or train (important for freight transport)
* It’s really not that big of a difference. Yeah we pay nore for fuel, but it doesn’t mean the whole economy will stop functioning if one part of transport costs more.
