Gas prices on the rise?

So, you guys are all talkin about prices per gallon, right? How many liters will fit in a gallon, O wait, I can google that myself..
3.78 Liters...ok...here we go..
98 octane (that's 93 over there IIRC) is doing a whopping €1.25 a liter, so make that 1.25 * 3.78 = €4.73 a gallon....that'd be almost 6 dollar a gallon! About 70% of our fuel prices goes straight into the pockets of our gorvernment....oh well...what can I do about it...

$5.59 per gallon if the 3.78 is Euro (and I assume it is). You can move.

Dave--Is that a place on Liberty avenue? Or where? I go down Liberty to get to 22 sometimes.
It could be worse, we could live in the Netherlands! Damn!

Andy, SSHHH!!! Don't let my secret out or the price will go up! You know the place, it looks like it's closed unless there are cars at the pumps!
TonD, Don't feel bad, our government take 40% of our money even if we don't buy gas so that they can blow up other countries and then pay their friends to rebuild.

I use the one on liberty, I believe 87 is up to 1.5x. It's called Speedway BTW, just in case someone wants to save a couple of dollars.
I don't think that's the one Dave is talking about though because I've been stuck in traffic backed up all the way to the gas station.

When did you ever see traffic there??? Speedway, Raceway, something like that, the place around the corner on 22 (in front of Best Buy) was usually about the same price until recently, now they're a few cents more.

Andy, it's all the same gas no matter what the sign says, the little places don't have their own refineries so they buy wholesale from the big places.

They don't have their own refineries...but what's preventing them from watering down the gas, or adding some 87 to the 93 tank...etc?
I just assume the big companies are less likely to cheat - fearing a lawsuit.
