$2.80? Better check your facts. Halliburton's KBR subsidiary charged the Army
between $1.62 and $1.70 per gallon. While the average price in the Middle East
is/was around $.71 per gallon, Halliburton charged that price for 'guaranteed'
delivery. Not to bad considering the logistics of doing so in a war zone.


You're all living in cardrivers heaven....
In europe gasoline 91 octane sells for about US$ 5(!) per gallon. That
is a bit more than 1EUR per litre. At laest it is a want from politics
as there is at least 2/3 of taxes in that selling price. And too bad
they want to go up to 2.50EUR per litre(!) in the next few years :-(((
So 1(!) gallon will cost about US$ 9.50 in near future.....
reminder: 1 gallon is 3.8litre
