    Live in North Louisiana and the highest price for regular gas is $2.50. One place sells it as low as $2.43.

    @tsquare: read in one thread that you were in Germany about same time I was at Zweibrucken AB from '84-87 while in USAF. Retired now in LA; but sure enjoyed my tour in Germany.

    Was there twice: 76-79 and 83-88. Lived in Heidelberg both times (on the economy) and I worked for the Army Audit Agency with district headquarters in Frankfurt. I ran the Heidelberg and Seckenheim offices (close together), and we also had offices in K-Town, Zweibrucken, and Stuttgart. Loved every minute I was in Germany. I was on the road work-wise almost every week. Out on Mondays - back on Fridays most weeks. Over the course of 8 years, I ran audits in Germany, England, Holland, Belgium, Italy, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey. Traveled from Russia down to north Africa. Spent a lot of time in the PX/commissary at Ramstein.

    @tsquare43:
    I was in the financial management community and Comptroller at Zweibrucken Air Base; as such I was audit liaison for the installation so all auditors, GAO, DAO, and AFAA had to go thru me besides the fact that my function was constantly audited. Didn't see many Army auditors but who knows our paths may have crossed. Finished up my AF career working with Army at DFAS, Indianapolis as Director of Military Pay.

    1.29 euro per litre here in Finland -- 80 percent of the price is tax, just like in most other European countries. So, you don't exactly have plans to buy a 4-litre SUV here, unless you want to spend half of your salary on gas :)

    $1 dollar Canadian (99.9 cents)/litre in Toronto.
    Easy to convert to American gallon (3.8 = $3.80) or Imperial (4.5 = $4.50)
    So converting $3.80 to American = ~$3.10/gallon USD.
    Yes mostly taxes here too...
    Gas was 49.9/litre coupla years ago - has doubled, but meanwhile PC hardware has dropped by 1/2, crazy world.
