D6fer logged a thread about windfall tax (we don't have that in NZ) and in the description field wrote about..."gas prices soaring out of control? $3.00 a gallon"

Well my converter calculator tells me that a gallon is 3.7852 litres; that's the unit we buy the stuffin, here.

We pay about $1.56 a litre most days now (it changes to "reflect imported oil prices", ya know(??!!??) and that converts to....

<hold yer breath, now>

...

$5.90 a gallon!!!!!

And that's not even bothering to look at things like international exchange rates. Thought it might interest you.

    we yanks sometimes like to whine about our gas prices but i should also point out that in no other nation does the combination of expected car ownership and desire to drive exist as strongly as in the US.

    our gas prices have tripled in the past 7-8 years. that's a pretty big bump, tappa.

    GAH!  Tappa, I wouldn't even want my Range Rover if I lived there!  I don't have it yet, but have been shopping around.  I don't even know why, I hardly drive.  I have to rely on other people to tell me how much the price of gas is and how much it's gone up.

    Here in the place that generates a huge quantity of the worlds gas and oil supplies we are paying $1.03 per litre.
    Being ancient I remember thinking that at 50 cents a gallon we were really putting out a great deal.
