Was away for 8 days. 401 new messages! Not bad.

Anyway for those complaining about mpg - just got back home from my recent trip. A customer drove me to a dinner. He had to refill. Put 50 litters. So what you ask. He paid less then US$2.00!!!!:3:

Now I understand why there is so many big 8 cylinders cars...

Just out of curiousity, where did you go where 50 liters of gas (i am estimating around 4 gallons here) cost less than $2?

 

[Dij]

A liter is a little over a quart, so 50 liters would be 8.5-9 gallons rather than 4.

Perhaps the comment meant less than $2 PER GALLON rather than less than $2 TOTAL.

 

[Eric L.]

Whoops I meant around 4 liters per gallon. Other than California, Nevade, and Hawaii, I am unaware that gas has gone over $2/gallon in the US yet.

 

[Kris]

50 l = 13.2 gallons.

It was in Venezuela............and the price was $2/50 litters.............

Wow very cool. Imagine how crowded our roads would be if gas were that price in the US.

Cost around 40 cents/ gallon from where i was born...

the country is a member of OPEC bty

So imagine how much profit margin OPEC countries are earning money from western world's big engine car habit


NO wonder arab sultans are dangg rich right?

In our country it's the "blue eyed arabs" (elected members of government) that are becoming "rich".....approx. 50% of the price of our gas consists of taxes; federal exise tax / provincial exise tax / goods and services tax / provincial sales tax....then they turn around and spend very little of this revenue on road construction and maintenence...(that's my rant for today)
