You are going to love this, Nik (?) One US gallon equals only 3.7854117 Liters.

Ergo, one US gallon would cost (3.7854117) x ($1.60) or just over $6.00....per gallon!!!!!

Holy jehosephat, that is criminal. A few spots in CA, where the specifications for fuel are quite demanding and that particular chemical mix's supply is frequently short are looking at $2.16 - $2.21.

For heavens sake, you guys are sucking oil out of the north sea at prodigous rates, like the Norwegians. Your costs should not contain that much tax...it is economic rape and the dislocations in transport and wastful spending it will cause may never be repaired...

Good Grief! I don't want to get going on this economic issue here, but this is really really wrong...sounds like the EU is already in defacto charge...kiss your sovereignty goodbye, old chums.

I sure wish it wasn't so, because you cannot reverse course and throw the BrusselBumsprouts out later without resorting to "unauthorized" means.

I'll bet very few democrats here would agree to $6.00 a gallon for their own cars, except for government employees, of course, on the federal dole as "employed" persons.
