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.

Actually it's called maximizing value received for value extended but if you
enjoy paying more for something than it's worth, you are free (I assume) to do
so. And please stop spamming the board. :)~

I completely fail to see what this has to do with either hlds or source.
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.
Cheers,
Einar
