Only one thing, one of the most socialist countries in Europe,
Sweden, has avgas at 4.5 Skr a litre, about $2.25 per USG.
Renting a plane's quite cheap there too, when I was out there
it was cheaper than the US. Now I'm not sure as the $ to £ is
quite high. No landing fees (well, you buy a yearly card...all club
aircraft have it) and less controlled airspace than the US. And
they allow you to fly wherever you like over Stockholm at 2000ft
as long as you move out of the way a bit when there's an arrival
at Bromma airport. (only the royal palace at Drottningholm has a
small area of restricted airspace)

Oddly, our "capitalism" produces mogas at about $1.70 a gallon (with the
state and fed gub'mints taking about $0.35-0.40 of that) and out Avgas
100LL
at $2.62.
