The $9.57 is how much it costs per gallon in USD give the price in euros per liters that you provided… your math was slightly off. Keep in mind that the average take home income (ie after all taxes) in your country is twice what the average take home income is over here. Your cost of living is also comparable with the way current exchange rates are right now. So your current prices are very comparable in that it is affecting us EXACTLY like it is affecting you. The world is suffering high gas prices everwhere even with the price discrepencies the residents of those countries are affected just the same... the US has it worse in some respects because of the size of our country.

US gallon is 3.8 litres ( they do every thing small but food so they can have bigger numbers , think thats why every thing is weighed in pounds instead of tons and tonnes like the rest of us )

Gas has actually dropped a little here in NorCal. The last tank cost be $4.389/gal.

I just heard that a 60 MPH National Speed Limit is being introduced in Congress. That makes the 400 hp hemi engine seem pretty useless doesn't it?

Last night just before mid-night some young guy in an SUV blew past me on the freeway. He must have been doing well over 90 mph. He didn't seem to care I was in clearly marked Sheriff's vehicle. But I'm not an officer, just Search & Rescue, so I can't ticket or arrest or chase; nothing fun I didn't bother to call it in, figuring his penalty will be at the gas pump. I hope it's some kid burning through his dad's $130 tank of gas.

that's exactly what happened in France in 1973 upon the first oil shock,
speed limit was introduced everywhere in the country & car racing was banned.
as a consequence most of the small french race car building companies collapsed,
even majors such as Citroen struggled to survive because they've just released very fast models like the SM-Maserati coupé (ca. 250 km/h at the time...)
