    1 US gallon = 3.78541178 liters

    1 dollar = $ .73 Euros

    1.35 euros/liter = $1.83 dollars per Liter

    3.785 x 1.83 = $6.93 per gallon

    Well the conversion I got you is correct

    Basically you need to know how to covert dollars to Euros

    it takes 1.83 dollars to buy one Euro because our dollar isn't worth as much

    It takes 3.8 liters to fill a gallon

    double your dollar (2) times 3.8 and you are close... within 10%

    I find the metrics to be simpler and surprised the US
    hasn't gone metric.

    7 8 9 10 MM
    vs

    1/4 3/8 1/2 9/16 5/8
    uggh hate fractions..

    decimals are 1000 times easier...

    I'm to old to convert to metrics, I hope Harley never converts to the metric system. Also I like driving on the right side of the road, no metrics please.

    Carboard I have a couple of bottles of Jack, will that work.:)

    Sure, but my tougue would swell up before I could git it down with you over in Oregon Redneck.
    I just got back, rode across the river to another county to git a bottle, you can't buy whiskey here where I live. Church folks has it locked up.
    All you can buy is beer and they only let you be able to git it in certain precints a few years ago.

    I'm good for now, man it taste good too.

    ChuckTx knows that junk not me. He meauses it all the time when he paints.

    I'm dumb as a rock when you cross the numbers up.

    I've screamed for years, Nobody here has any *alls.
    We can't adopt english as a national language, we can't use the measuring system I grew up with and my grand dad used and his dad.
    Were scared we might offend somebody.

    Well I ain't scared I will offend anybody. And folks that know me know it too.
    I ain't converting anything.
    Git on my system if you want to do busines with me.
    And No I don't speak another language so I ain't hittin any other button to talk to you.:banghead::rant::cussing::angry::rant:

    I already need another drink.:gah:

    Metric is easier if you grew up with it, here in Canada we switch to it about 20 years ago. Just after I had learned every thing in Imperial, I still can't watch Canadian weather - Celsius scale is crazy, freezing is 32*F not 0*C. Up here if it's 32* that's like 90*F:banghead::banghead:
    We do get to drive a 100 on the highways though;);) (KMH)
