High gasoline prices: a little perspective
I saw this on TV yesterday and thought It was pretty accurate and funny.
In the category of: it's all relative, here is a comparison of products relating to current gasoline prices. 1 gal. of gasoline: $1.92 1 gal. of bottled water: $4.50 1 gal. of Ice Cream: $8.00 1 gal. of Budweiser: $15.00 1 gal. of Starbucks coffee: $32.00 |

LOL-Guess the difference is that I don't normally buy 100 Litres (Gas is about 76 cents/litre here) of Ice Cream or Coffee at once!

We are paying $1.05/litre in Aus. Prediction $1.20.
If 3.785 litres is equal to 1 gallon Would that mean We are paying $3.98 a gallon. You are paying 51 cents litre. Our dollar worth 60 cents tops exchange to US. How do they work it out. |
