    3.79 litres in a gallon?

    Its €1 = $1.16

    €1.18 per litre here effectively making it around €4.29

    So in Ireland its around $4.91 per gallon. nice

    Imagine this, in the third world (central america) our economies are struggling, lots of poverty, etc. wages are way lower than in the US, professionals are lucky to earn $1000 a month, some people barely make $300. Despite that living is expensive and gas is $3.30 a gallon!

    There are a lot of European countries with even lower standards than that. I don't think that anyone makes $1000 a month in Macedonia, Albania or Romania. And guess what, gas is still 1.2 EURO per liter ($5 per gallon).

    Same thing happened in Georgetown(Ky) except one local station went back to $2.58 today. It's really sad when we think $2.55 is a good price.

    My dads family (what's left of it) mostly lives in Lincoln County. I have not been back there in 15 years.

    I heard the news this morning and they were predicting another 10 cent per gallon drop in gasoline prices in the next 2 weeks.
