PER Litre, Sequoias
Damn! That's really expensive gas for a country that isn't as popolous as the US.
Looks like around $4.83 US dollars per gallon, dang!

just filled my van up today with diesel. £83, pissed me off. in the US that would be roughly $166 dollars to fill yer tank, don't know what it holds but i get 450 miles a tank, getting bloody scary
Yep! Even Bush was surprised. I guess that goes to show that he doesn't know what he's doing.Its over $3.50 a gallon here in California; guess they are setting us up for four bucks this summer......
USA is one of few countries that don't use metric system and just use traditional measurement but I don't know when metric system will adopt in USA like convert gallon into liter since hopefully not because I don't know about metric system.
I know that gas prices are expensive in Europe, Asian (such as Hong Kong) and other countries due high taxes and more efficient of public transportation system, other reason can be applied but gas price are skyrocketing in USA during wartime, increase of demand on oil and limited supply of oil.
Gas price was much cheaper in USA in 90's, such as $1.50 per gal in mid 90's.
Why complain?
Compare* * with Gasoline......
Think a gallon of gas is expensive?
This makes one think, and also puts things in perspective.
* **Diet Snapple 16 oz $1.29 ....... $10.32 per gallon
**Lipton Ice Tea 16 oz $1.19 ...........$9.52 per gallon
**Gatorade 20 oz $1.59 ..... $10.17 per gallon
**Ocean Spray 16 oz $1.25 .......... $10.00 per gallon
**Brake Fluid 12 oz $3.15 ........... $33.60 per gallon
**Vick's Nyquil 6 oz $8.35 .... $178.13 per gallon
**Pepto Bismol 4 oz $3.85 ... $123.20 per gallon
**Whiteout 7 oz $1.39 ........ $25.42 per gallon
**Scope 1.5 oz $0.99 $84.48 per gallon*
**And this is the REAL KICKER...** *
*Evian water 9 oz $1.49..........$21.19 per gallon?! $21.19 for WATER
- and the buyers don't even know the source. (Evian spelled backwards is Naive.)*
So, the next time you're at the pump, be glad your car doesn't run on water, Scope, or Whiteout, or God forbid, Pepto Bismol or Nyquil. *
In Venezuela, they got .12 cents per gallon, and I don't think you want to live there.
That's nothing to compare with gas or diesel.
You don't recall that we used had cheaper gas price in 90's and early 00's, it has been above than average now.
Get a hybrid car.
But I use at least 10 gallons of gas per week.
In my whole lifetime I would never use one gallon of Whiteout.
That's the difference.
