$1.12/liter equals $4.239 a US Gallon that's no Bargain in my book.
But I don't live in WET Wa. State . :-)

It would reduce the perceived pain felt at the pump. While up in the
great white north last month, I purchased fuel at Petro Canada for a
measly $1.12/liter. That is much better than the horrid price of
$3.11/gal I pay at home.

I think the United States of America is a great country. I have seem
many others, I'm glad this is home.
But I do agree, Mike.
The first set of world standards to adopt should be ... the SI. Back
in the 70's there was a half-hearted, limp-wristed attempt to
"convert", but while we led the world with a decimal currency, we
can't seem to scrape together enough common sense to dump the silly
inch, foot, pound, gallons, ounce mess for something that is sensible
and easy to use!
Until we do that, I think there is _no_ hope for our country to even
understand what the standards are!!
A good site is:
