I swear, some mornings I don't know where my head is. Hot and sunny today, no rain, and I drive the 15mpg rx-7, rather than the 50mpg motorcycle.

Yea motorcycles are nice

$1 = 1.18 eurus, so you're looking at just over a dollar a litre.

That's still not bad! Someone said it was 2 bucks a litre

If 1$ = 1.18 Euros, then .85 euros/Liter ends up being $2.72 per Gal. Not too bad.

You're right, but I got the euro's:dollars swiched around, so 1 euro actually = $1.18, which means we're paying around $3.80 for a US gallon.

Also this is the first place I have heard Ford's being called economical
