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

Sun, 7 Apr 2002 17:47:26 +0930

Not sure where you are buying your fuel, Leroy, but up here in the Adelaide
Hills it's $0.91 Aust. per litre. At 3.79 litres to 1 US gallon, that's
$3.45 Australian per Us gallon. Convert to US Dollars and it equals $1.89
US.
Of course if you would like to pay $4.00 a gallon, I can help - I've got a
couple of jerrycans full.
Cheers,
