Scumbag government.
The minimum monthly payment for a Lithuania citizen is 800 lt(litas)/month. (tax included)
Gas prices are 18,95lt/gal (5lt/L)
So, a regular person pays 2,37% of his monthly pay for a GALLON of gas .** (or 0.625 %/L of gas) **

What does it have to do with government?
Excise tax?
As the practice shows, lowering the excise tax does not mean that the gas prices will drop down by the same amount. Lowering the tax would mean much smaller income to the country's budget. I think it is much better to get more money into the budget and in that way raise the average salary.
What amount are we talking about?
