Fill'er up Please

For the benefit of our readers in the United States where it seems that gas prices are all over the news programs.  I went out to fill up my car the other day and paid 53 pesos per liter.  My car used 40 liters of gas as I was a little bit under half according to the fuel gauge.  So I ended up paying 2120 pesos to fill up my tank.  I started wondering well what would that be in dollars per gallon?  So I broke out my trusty calculator and punched in the numbers.  Let's see there are 3.8 liters per gallon and the peso was worth 42.7 the other day when I changed money.  So a little bit of  division first (40/3.8) that comes out to about 10.5 gallons.  Now that 10.5 gallons of gas cost me 2120 pesos which when divided by 42.7 comes out to roughly $49.64 for my 10.5 gallons of unleaded or roughly $4.72 per gallon.  Almost makes you want to move back to the States doesn't it?  But wait a minute that price does have a few benefits built into it.  That is for full service, I don't have to get out of my car to pump that gas.  If you want the attendants will wash the windows and check your fluid levels too.  So maybe I will stay here in Subic.
