If my calculator works correctly (and i think it does, Ralf) and assuming the U.S. prices were given per American Gallon, the prices for U.S.A., Canada and Germany would compare as follows (all prices in U.S.$ per American Gallon) U.S.A. 1.70 Canada 2.01 Germany 3.65 Hope this is correct.

That is about what I figured at 1.80 DM per litre. Since it is about $1.41 here, I believe Ralf's original message should have been: "it is to weep, how LITTLE you pay for gas in the states." In the 1970s, with the exchange rate und the imperial gallon, I think we used to get better prices in Canada. Thomas Koch ----- Original Message ----- From: Heinz L.
