[Vision2020] Gas prices [was: Can we not find...]

[Ralph Nielsen]

Have a look at the cheapest gas in Canada -- in Edmonton AB, at $3.94/ 
gal. And below, the cheapest gas in Fort McMurray AB, where the tar  
sands are, costs $4.66/gal.

For metrically challenged Americans, divide liters and price-per- 
liter by 0.264 for per-gallon equivalents. For liter-gallon  
equivalents multiply by 0.264.

In 2005, when I was in England, petrol was a pound per liter = $2/ 
liter = $7.58/gal. I'm sure it's higher now. Don't count on the  
Conservatives to lower it.

Sure, and the new gallons at $2 each will have a new name -- liters.

A $2 bill is what one will pay for a demonstration flask of fuel from  
the old-
fashioned pre-electric vehicle days.

A $20 bill is what one will pay for just enough fuel for Junior to  
get the old
hot rod from home to the prom and back home again -- and nowhere else.

A $200 bill will be necessary to fill up the old hot rod -- and even  
then only
for deductible business uses -- assuming fuel expenses are still  
deductible.

Yes, indeed, the coming days of fuel at $20 per decaliter (before  
inflation)
will allow an electric vehicle purchase decision to be really easy to  
approve.

I wonder whose face will be chosen for the two-hundred-dollar bill.  
Ideas?
