And to think, while I was in an airport a few months ago, I was talking to one of the staff members who works at the American Consulate in Argentina, South America.

He mentioned that gas was ~0.17 per gallon.

Yes, that's seventeen US cents per gallon.

At least diesel is cheaper than regular, which is more than I can say for any of the stations around me.

It's been a few years since I've been through Bridgeport or Lee Vining, but I'd bet they're both well above the $5 per gallon mark, too. It really ****es me off how the stations away from well-populated areas gouge people. I always made damn sure to have plenty of fuel so I didn't need to stop in either of those places....

Unleaded was $3.15 and $4.09 for diesel when I left Tucson on Tuesday. Now that I sold the camper and don't need the higher towing capacity, I'm seriously considering replacing the Dodge with a 1/2-ton gasser.

Holland:
1 liter Euro 95 gas = Euro 1.56 x 1.59 (US $ conversion) = $2.48 x 3.8 (liter to gallon conversion) = $9.43/gallon

you've still got a little ways to go

BTW: the diesel is still cheaper over here than regular gas.
But let's not include road taxes (US equivalent is registration sticker) to make a completely fair yearly cost comparison, because then you'll completely fall of your chair ...

On the bright side, they (the US) don't have an LPG (propane) option like we in Europe do. I LOVE filling up the XJ for less than half the cost of petrol!

However the YJ has 33" tires, and 4:56 gears. It doesn't go out much...
