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!:cry:

Can somebody please ship me some $4.00 per gallon gas?
PLEASE!

Ya' just gotta' love France...
