Gas price
According to www.Benzinpreis.de Germans currently pay 1.23 Euros for one liter of Super (89, the middle choice, not the rocket fuel). With the current exchange rate of 1.2085 Dollars per Euro we get:
2.23 / 1.2085 / 3.7854118 = 0.4875…
1.23 x 1.2085 x 3.7854118 = 5.6268…
Quipso quostrum ex emptorum, you pay 5 bucks 63 for a gallon of gas in Germany! Did I hear anybody complain about the current price of gas?
