O come on! Let's do some math shall we:
1 gallon = 3.785 liter
1 euro = 1.24 US dollar
The prices here in Holland are about ?1.40 a liter at this moment. That's 1.4 x 1.24 = $1.74. So the price in Holland per gallon is 3.785 x $1.74 = $6.57. So please don't give me any 'if it hits $5...' crap, because people just get used to it very fast. Nobody here in Holland stopped driving because of the prices (and they increased very fast over te last few years). People give up other things, but not driving (and they shouldn't).
