Oilman"s Delight - Gasoline @ $9.90/Gallon
I just filled up my car for probably the last time this winter in France. The equivalent price was just over $9.90/gal(1.88 euro/litre)!! Events in Libya have hit gas prices in southern Europe. It is not all gravy for oil guys like me. In France, taxes are almost 70% of the retail price!!What are current prices in North America? The boys in the wine bar are curious.
Got something to say?

no wait, he said it was bush's fault, :rolleyes:
Our economy will finally improve when gas gets expensive enough that people will quit driving away their wealth, and choose a better way to live.
0.63 euro/litre to 0.76 euro/litre equivalents would be ecstatically received over here as opposed to the current 1.88 euro/litre.
However, converting a $10 SC beer to a 7.20 euro Stella Artois made them realize that not all is rosy in North America. I drink a terrific vin ordinaire (a cheap Bordeaux) for approx $2 per generous glass in my Saint Raphael hole-in-the-wall.
If gasoline reaches European prices in the US, the economy is going to tank. How many people live 40 or more miles from work? Lots. Hell, there are people who work in big cities like LA or Atlanta and live 100 miles away. Think tripling or quadrupling their montly gas expenditure will have a negative effect on the economy?
Strip clubs will be affected, too. It's a luxury expense, and since everything is affected by a gas price increase, luxuries have to go.
vm - I know the spot, it's the ROB of gas stations. Last place to get gas before you hit the airport rental car return lots. Their gas has always been overpriced. Made the mistake of filling up there once - never again!
