But you also need a lot less gas in Europe.

Unfortunately, the price of almost every consumer good is decided based on the price of petrol/diesel even when one doesn't even own a car.

Luckily those are transported less with petroleum products too. And shorter distances.

		for some locally produced goods yes, but still the costs adds up in manufacturing because it's not like all the items/ingredients needed to manufacture one particular thing comes from one small region. Also the petroleum products includes gas used to generate energy in some manufacturing facilities and that again adds up-to the cost.
