If you think $4 is high for gas....

By Melissa Cabral, WINK News

Fort Myers - If you think our gas prices are bad, be glad you don't live in Sweden.

A group of 10 men flew into Fort Myers from Sweden to buy Harley Davidson motorcycles and ride across the country.

They tell us gas prices in Sweden are more than double what we're paying here in the United States right now.

They are traveling five thousand miles during their four weeks in the states.

They came to the Fort Myers Harley Davidson to purchase the motorcycles because it's as much as three times cheaper in the U.S.

The group will ship their bikes back before they depart from Los Angeles to head back home at the end of July.

If you think it is expensive then in england we are paying the equivalent of over $12.00 a gallon, yes $12 a gallon and the goverment does not use it to improve the road system. I will swop with you any day.

What is the median household income in Sweeden and what do they use the taxes on gasoline for? The tax structure in Sweeden is probably much different from ours.
