This question is interesting to me because we know why gasoline/petrol costs
so much in the UK -- it is the tax that is applied. The world price of crude
is pretty constant, and I believe the pre-tax price of gas/petrol is not too
far different between the UK and the US.
Yet, I don't think engine oil is subject to such a tax, so why the 3x (or
even up to 6x) difference in price?
