Again, for the US readers, that's a LITRE. Not a gallon. So still much more expensive than the US way.


My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

If memory serves me isn't it 5 litres per gallon? If so that's $6.15 per gallon. Not a cheap place to live...Canada! :)

$3.33 per gallon in the Raleigh area! Amazing drop in just three or four weeks. Must be an election year.

1 US gallon = 3.785 litres
So, with the current near-par (1:1.03) exchange rate, that's about $4.80 a gallon, assuming my math is correct... ;)

Maui is laid out weird. The north end of the island is considered part of West Maui.

The North Shore is actually on the east side of the island.

South Maui faces west.

All of this indicates the Tahitian voyaging canoe crews that discovered Hawaii were probably headed for Australia.
