You also have cars over there that get 50 miles to the gallon. The largest car is probably the US, smallest car. We have suv's. Its got to be the largest market of vehicles here.

I don't want to edit that although I proved myself a moron. There a 3.8 liters in a gallons. If you have 4 liters it is 1.056 and on gallons, call it 1.06 gallons or 1.1 gallons. The 4.8 was Mr. Muffin head getting confused.

Status: offline 		I guess it is good that the oil I ship in gallon jugs labeled "1 gallon / 3.8 liters" is going to London, New Hampshire, not London, England.:)

Off topic and just curious with the EU. Can you get a pint of beer or do you have to get 472 milliliters? (OK, 500 milliliters unless the bartender has a scale and knows the specific gravity of Bass Ale.)

Status: offline 		Ever wonder why the price for gas goes up due to this or that on holiday weekends? And usually never gets back down to the preholiday rate. The sad part is we are so glad to see it drop a bit, no one things to make a comment on how it is slowly creeping up. Dating myself here, lol. When I started driving gas was 19 CENTS a gallon, and gas wars were common. Sundew

And I had to walk to school during blizzards. Uphill. Both ways. I worked in a mill for 10 cents a year. In my day it took two years savings to buy a gallon of gasoline.

Then Al Gore invented the Internet and everything went bad.

At that time, gas prices here ranged from ABOUT 17-23 cents a gallon. Of course our automobiles got crappy MPG, but then we could afford it. Wink, look at my age sweet iwill. Sundew

(Gee, I'm glad your so far away.)


I was not comment on your age*, but you got to admit the "back-my-day" type comment is funny.

(*Heck, I like older women because:
1) they know what they want
2) they know what I want
3) they don't pretend to scandalized by knowing these things and
4) they know how much a gallon of gasoline cost in the 1960's.)
