Don't forget to mention there's room for the watermelon in the glove box.

When prices drop I fill four or more six gallon jugs I have in my shed. Gas lasts up to a year in a jug-three months if oil is added for marine outboards. I never add oil until time for use.
If no young people show up out of gas, I pour it in my cars when prices spike up.

My Metro would get around 50... MPG and MPH.

My girfriend and I would muss our hair when we stopped so people would believe it was a convertible.

I have already commented on the price of Vietnamese gasoline, so I won't do that again.

Several of my teaching colleagues went to their home countries for the month of August and and here are some prices from various English speaking countries...

...it's $1.40 per gallon on the island of Malta (but it's not connected to anything--they're complaining about the "high price of petrol" there!)...

...it's $3.50 per gallon in Wellington, New Zealand...

...it's $3.80 per gallon in Melbourne, Australia...

...it's $7.40 per gallon in London, England...

...it's $8.90 per gallon in Singapore...

This isn't a scientific study: I just asked my friends how much they paid for gasoline. I had to convert liters to gallons and local currency to American dollars. I might be a little off.
