it's nice to hear americans talking sense!
we're paying about $7 per gallon over here, (ireland) i guess that's why the suburban never took off here!

by the litre - currently €1.25 - it's not all bad though, we are considerably cheaper than most of our eu counterparts, i think petrol in england is nearly twice what we are paying!!

€ - euro, european currency
£ - british pound, english currency (they never converted to the euro)

PLEASE - don't mix up ireland and england, that's like mixing up canada and america!
