[Milsurplus] Fwd: Fw: gas prices $ 3 a gallon

Sun, 7 Apr 2002 01:35:38 -0600

Hi All,

Over here in Oman (a petroleum exporting country but not an OPEC member)gas
is $1.23 per gallon (no leaded gasoline is sold in Oman).  The refinery is
just down the road and we have three different dealers here.  The problem in
the states is all of the different EPA requirements.  My daughter pays $1.22
in San Antonio.  The US has the cheapest gas in the world.

Cheers,   John

You think yall gots it bad, in Australia it's over $4.00 a gallon and
they make 75% of their own gasoline only 25% is imported.
