Re: Completely off-topic, gas-prices

I know the living cost is more expensive in Europe but your E-mail is still a shocker to me. I guess I (and a lot
of folks in the US) am not used to this kind of price jack-ups. I miss the good old days ( yeah, about a year and half ago) when the the gas price for the Regular is around 80 cents a gallon. On the other hand, we are DBAs and we
are making the big bucks ( don't mean to start another off-topic thread here ), I guess we should not be whining , right?

You think that's expensive?
I'v converted the gallon to 3.78541 Liter, and the Dollar to f2.30 dutch guilder.
1 Liter of unleaded fuel costs f2.70 here so;

The gallon would cost us here in Holland $4.45 so two times your price! Talking about the price of living......
