That would be per gallon, E. 5.1438 or USD $6.4883 per gallon. (Using today´s rate which is quite good for a change.) Spent E 95.13 for 70 liters (18.49 gallons) for a GRAND TOTAL of USD $113.5043.<BR/>As I said in previous entry, 73 cents of every 1 Euro is TAX!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14929455.post-1128942788797846852005-10-10T07:13:00.000-04:002005-10-10T07:13:00.000-04:00Here in Germany 73 cents of every 1 Euro of gasoli...Here in Germany 73 cents of every 1 Euro of gasoline goes to Feds as TAX!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14929455.post-1128872516070814932005-10-09T11:41:00.000-04:002005-10-09T11:41:00.000-04:00Ooooo, compared to you guys, I am so spoiled.

Still, I know that the high prices are very hard on long-distance drivers. We all need fresh thinking about transportation.Will Howarthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15026162585791616189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14929455.post-1128869524433540782005-10-09T10:52:00.000-04:002005-10-09T10:52:00.000-04:00I'm pretty much stuck even though I feel like I mi...I'm pretty much stuck even though I feel like I might as well just turn over my paycheck to the gas station. We live in the country so I put 50 miles a day on my car just commuting to work, and when we go to a play as we did last night or a sports event or a concert it's usually also 25 or more miles away. And my husband wonders why I miss living in the city! At least gas here in PA is usually at least 10-20 cents less than NY where I work. Thank heaven we bought a Subaru Outback instead of an SUV.<BR/><BR/>Barbara Edmiston MitchellAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14929455.post-1128824814529921602005-10-08T22:26:00.000-04:002005-10-08T22:26:00.000-04:00Hi Will, I'll tell you what I am doing--organizing...Hi Will,<BR/> I'll tell you what I am doing--organizing and consolidating. No more "run into town for one item" errands every day. It takes 15-20 minutes to get into town from where we live, and I make sure that I have a planned list of places to go, both on the way in and on the way out. Also, here in Spfd., the gas prices nearly always jump up on Thursday and dwindle down through Wednesday, so I make sure to top off the first of the week. I can't tell how much I am saving since gas is so darn high anyway, but psychologically, I feel like I am at least trying to do my part.<BR/>Best to you, Will<BR/>DianeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
