Gas Prices


I have read the concerns about rising gas prices in the US.
To make you feel better, lets do a little math.

Gas is sold by the liter in England.
A gallon is equal to 3.785 liters.
A liter of gas costs £1.04.
Applying today's currency conversion factor - that works out to $7.81 per gallon.
We put 15 gallons in our Accord the other day, it cost $117.15.
Every week! In both cars!!!
Feel better?
