It's not even close.
No, you said 1.4 Euro per liter, so that is 5.32 Euro per gallon, or about $6.90 per gallon. So you are paying triple the price that many people in the US pay. I live in Oregon where the prices are more than $2.30, but only about 10% more instead of 200% more. -- Carl Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
