They probably have more public mass transit than we do as well. I rode the bus in Madison, Wisconsin, today and it only cost me $1.00 because I am "senior". How many cities in the US have that deal? Mark- Original Message -From: Carleton MacDonald Date: Wednesday, February 20, 2013 5:12 pmS
I paid the equivalent of $1.054/L this morning. Even if it were actually
labeled that way, it would be a Pyrrhic victory compared to paying closer to
$3/gallon.

£1.35 is about $2.06 right now. Theyre paying about twice what we do.
On the other hand, they have a system where no one has to pay to go to the
doctor or the hospital.
Fair trade.

Yup, and the higher value of the British pound makes the differential even worse. Mark Henschel- Original Message -From: Martin Vlietstra Date: Wednesday, February 20, 2013 10:34 amSubject: [USMA:52377] RE: $1.00/LTo: "U.S. Metric Association" > >

Mr. DeHaan,
U.S. changeover to the metric system of measurement right now would soothe the
sore eyes of motorists purchasing gasoline. A national average price of $3.79
per gallon translates into $1.00 per liter.
