In case you were wondering...

...how much things are in Europe compared to the US, let me give you a brief look:

Yesterday I filled up my four door diesel sedan with fuel.  For a 15 gallon tank (60 litres), the grand total was...  are you ready?

US $105.00 (68 Euro)

Yes - that's US $7 per gallon.  Had I been driving a gasoline burning car, the price would have been $133.00 (89 Euro) and price per gallon $8.90.

I told my dad about this and to quote him directly:  "Well Praise the Lord for $3.42 a gallon!"  I agree, Dad.  And by the way....tell mom I'm off to buy a bicycle!  

Have a great week!
