Just thinking............anybody else remember ATLAS SHRUGGED? We get closer to it every day, along with 1984 -- they're going to microchip passports next, and then, who knows, each American? yikes! Peggy They actually measured the gas in liters, so it didn't look so bad when you were at the pump, but with my son's help and a little math, we could figure out what the equivalent per gallon price would be :-) The Europeans also measure how fuel efficient their cars are by "liters per 100 km", instead of km/liter (which would be like our miles/gallon).
