In Europe, the price is mostly paid by the consumer. In America, the government subsidizes the industry to the tune of billions per year, both at the federal and state levels. It makes gullible people think American fuel prices are lower, when in fact it socializes the cost of fuel onto all of society.

Counterpoint: I live in Europe and pay €0 for gas. I walk, bike, and take transit. That's literally impossible in much of the US.

The trucks that bring your food to within walking distance use a fair bit of if fuel.

A lot less on a per capita served basis than it would take to drive all those people that are served by the truck to the place where the food comes from and back again

Most delivery trucks around here are electric. Most power generation is renewable, importing some nuclear. Some fossil fuels still in the mix, but if the government was smart they would phase it out.
