In the UK we pay even more, but not that much more. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matthias Wieloch Sent: 08 May 2007 14:59 To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: AW: [hlds] [Fwd: [Fwd: NO GAS ON 15TH]]
I didn't intend to but I add something to that. I'm from Germany and actually we pay about 1.36€ per litre. Converted to $/gallon it is about 5.16$ per gallon. And I don't enjoy paying that. -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Im Auftrag von Edward Luna Gesendet: Dienstag, 8.

And please stop spamming the board. :)~ -----Original Message----- From: "Einar S.

Please stop spamming the list. Also, I am looking forward to the day American gas prices hit a level comparable to the rest of the world. Bitching about three bucks per gallon just makes the ludicrously wealthy nation and its citizens look piss poor. And cheap. And utterly incapable of buying proper cars that don't use the three gallons on a single mile.
