Gas miles per gallon

The only thing I saw that made sense was that the gasoline price indeed is
quite a bit higher over here...
I pay about 60 euro at the gas station eacht time, and 1 litre costs 1.25
euro :'(

A full tank of gasoline gets me about 350 km far......

I'd be out 120 euro a week then? What's that like ~200 Canadian or
something?

I pay $35cnd a week for ~700km with my diesel

No wonder everyone seems to be driving a bigger car then me.

I'm up to driving about 400 KM each week.
Unfortunaly I'm still a student so I have to take the bus once in a while
:-p

The EURO - CAD are almost equal to each other

So 60 EUR is 60.45 CAD

Let's see, at the current exchange rate, 1.25 EUR = 1.55 USD. You pay 5.87
USD per gallon (US). Highest price for premium here in the States is less
than half that, or 2.70 USD per gallon (US) in Lake Tahoe, CA.

Seems kind of rediculous. Especially when you take into consideration that
my mileage is 16.5 mpg

maybe moving to the US isn't such a bad thing after all :-D

True true, I checked a different bank and i got out that 100 euro is about
166 CAD

Sounds about right... the CAD gets you about 77-78 US cents... and the euro
is worth a bit more then the USD is it not?

I remember, though, when the ratio was more like 4:1 (i.e. about $1/gal
in the US, vs. more than $1/liter in Europe).
