Re: If you thought gas prices were bad now...standby...

Using the weekend currency conversion table at the Comical, and the AA Roadwatch website linked by dave_in_austin (latest data from February 2008), I find:

Netherlands unleaded = 1.535 euros/L
1.582 USD = 1 euro

So I calculate as follows:

(3.78541L/gallon)*(1.535 euros/L)*(1.582 USD/euro) = 9.19 USD/gallon equivalent for the Eurozone's most expensive unleaded gasoline in February 2008.

Southeastern Eurozone prices were roughly 70% of the Dutch prices.
