@Zuzsiq
Really? No one else seems to think so. XDDD
Mt sucks more than ever. Success.
3.577$/gallon mean how much for one liter? Here it’s like 1.35$ ( canadian ) for one liter, expensive too.
Is that the beginning of another news-o-ton? Or was it blog-o-ton? You know, back then when you posted one news per day
@Jonathan
When Mari posted one article a day, it was a blog-a-thon. This is a twice a week thing. In fact, the other half for this week is tomorrow! =D
Mari did the math, and 3.78541 liters = 1 gallon. If the exchange rates are accurate on Yahoo! search, the Canadian equivalent of the price of a gallon of gas is about $5.11 CAD, which translates to about $5.02 USD for a gallon of gas. Holy HELL!! You poor Canadians are paying through the nose!!! What we pay $3.66 CAD for, you guys have to pay $5.11 CAD!!!
Just FYI, the price of gas rose to $3.60 USD per gallon this week on average throughout the states.
