IMO the US doesnt have a gas price problem, it's just a case of culter shock to the recent change. Look at the gas pricing vs the average hourly wage for the US in the past 20-30 years. It has usually runs at approximatly 3 gallons per average hourly wage. Then in the mid 90's we were able to buy 6-8 gallons per average hourly wage. Even now we can get over 4 for the national average of $13/hr. When the gas prices rise slower then the overall econmy they eventually have to catch up which is what we are seeing now.
Anyhow just my 2c, and yes I think all dealers charge you for gas missing at return just like rental car places.
