Fuelish Behavior, part 2

Yesterday I blogged about long lines of drivers all atwitter about $3.75/gal gasoline. Well, I drove by the same station tonight. I guess the cars of the twittered all had their tanks filled yesterday, because the long lines were gone. I quickly found an available pump and topped off at a rate a penny lower.

I really shouldn't, but I feel a little smarter tonight.

What would you say, if I told you that we pay 1.55 € per liter in Germany... ?
This is 6.02 € per gallone. 6.02 € = 9.54 $
Of course we line up at the gas stations when the price goes down to 1.49 € per liter... ;-)

Hi jassi. I'm well aware of the price difference overseas. I've heard that it's up to $10-per-gallon in the Netherlands.

Higher fuel prices are really hurting the airlines. I wish we had a more well-developed and efficient network of passenger trains connecting cities.
