Price of Petrol/Gas
I see a lot of complaining over the soaring prices of gas in the States.
But check this out.
According to http://www.bostongasprices.com/, the average price for a gallon is $3.14.
In Ireland, according to http://www.aaireland.ie/petrolprices/ we pay €1.20 per litre.
1 US gallon = 3.78541178 liters
So for 1 Gallon of unleaded (Gas), we pay €1.20 * 3.78 = €4.536.
1 Euro = 1.5688 U.S. dollars
so €4.536 = $7.11.
It doesn't take a calculator to see that $7.11 is more that twice as expensive as $3.14. Roll on Rip off Ireland.
