"some of the lowest gas taxes on the planet" means EXACTLY what it says (and no more): some of the lowest gas taxes on the planet.

Re: [Though, they ARE lower in Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, Nigeria, Russia, Venezuela, etc.] "they are effectively negative in at least some of those countries. Gasoline is subsidized."

In some (Iran, Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, etc.) yes, I know.

So... just which group, or type, of countries do you want to compare America's fuel taxes with?
