I understand. But realize that we pay 1.6 euro per litre, which is 1.6 * 3.785 = 6,06 euro per gallon. And a euro is worth $1.20. 6.06 * 1.20 = $7.27 /gallon. So excuse me if I don't feel sorry for you...

(I wonder why european cars are smaller than american ones....)



[edit] maybe I've been a little bit too enthousiastic. :dog: When I cycled past a gas station (no I don't have a car) today I saw the prices were about 1.30 euro per liter. That's 1.30/1.60*7.27= $5.91/gallon [/edit]
