It's time to buy a couple of horses and trade in the cars. Seriously though, we need a viable alternative to gasoline and we need it now. That, or it's time to start drilling for oil in the countless areas that the tree hugers say we can't. If it comes between me walking in the hot sun or burning that tree, the tree must go down. I'll figure out what I'm doing for fresh air the next day.

rjr54 Champion Author Winnipeg Posts:1,115 Points:395,370 Joined:Feb 2005	Message Posted: Apr 20, 2008 11:19:46 PM Ignore rjr54 Report Abuse I don't get this arithmetic. Given that there are 3.785 litres in an USA gallon, the table should look like this. $4/gal = $1.057/litre $5/gal = $1.321/litre $6/gal = $1.585/litre $8/gal = $2.114/litre $10/gal = $2.642/litre P.S. The price here is currently 1.259/litre, 4.77/gallon.
