NOTE: The following is meant to be a cut to your nation only for your benefit (i.e. no offense intended), so feel free to dis on my nation in response:
Three words: Standard of Living.
In America driving is part of living. You get your fancy cars and cool looking chrome wheels and you'd be wishing you were living here too. In Europe (no offense, this is meant to just spite you) the streets are so small you're forced to drive those ugly looking round BMW cars which can't go above 40 MPH, and demoralizing cycles, if you could call them that (not Harleys), rather motorized scooters.
Many people here think the new Volkswagon Bug is ugly and strange looking. Just compare them to the city-cars you find in Europe (again, a rash general assumption only to provoke Rune and not necessarily true).
As for gas problems, Norweigen citizens must be living at the mercy of the politicians. Politicians here wouldn't DARE try a ploy like that. Power to the people eh? That's what "freedom" is all about.
To the tune of "Proud to be an American":
"And I'm proud to be an American, where I drive an S-U-V. 'Cause in Norway gas is just so high, it would surely bankrupt me..."
I should post a link to a copy of that song...
