and I though about how CHEAP gas is in the USA!
Let me help you feel better the next time you buy gas.
I live in in a town called Villeparisis in France. Its about 20 miles east of Paris.
In this photo you will see today's fuel prices here in
Villeparisis:

Notes:
s/Plomb = sans Plomb = no Lead
98 & 95 are the two Octane levels available
Gazole = Diesel
Gazole Vert = Green Diesel = Bio-Diesel
In France we buy gas by the liter. There are
3.785411784 liters to a
gallon.
€1.398 per liter x 3.785411784 = €5.292005 per gallon
Well gee, that's really not too bad. Gas is $4.00
per gallon in some parts of the USA.
That is true, BUT...
Here is today's currency exchange rate:
http://www.xe.com/
€1.00 = $1.58210
So...
€5.292005 per gallon x 1.58210 = $8.3724811 PER
GALLON!
Can somebody please ship me some $4.00 per gallon gas?
PLEASE!
Ya' just gotta' love France...
