I hated buying gas when I was living in Germany! Back then it was 1.53DM to the litre. So, doing the double-conversion (Duetsch Marks to Dollars (it was around 3DM to the dollar) and then liters to gallons (a liter is a little more than a quart, four quarts to the gallon, so a little less for liters, about 3.7 or something...)
I either paid a nickel a gallon or $14,000.00... I never could figure that stuff out!! (I'd just hand them a wad of cash, and hoped they gave me some change instead of asking for more!!)
