I can only compare apples to apples. I know you guys in Europe and Australia pay way more than we do here. We paid, I think, around $9 a litre in Munich in 2008, and yes it is way too much. What Americans pay for gas may be an international issue (when comparing other countries), but given our

In perspective ( without intending to show any disrespect ) If 1 gallon = 3.785l, that would equate to $0.82/litre, which is less than Rs40/litre. In India, people would be happy paying that much. Here in Aus, the price for unleaded is around $1.20 - $1.30, with the Aus$ sometimes marginally strong
