After paying around $2.15 for a gallon of gas while in the States this weekend (and more importantly, hearing the hysteria about it on the news--the sky is falling!), I thought I'd see how prices here compare. Last time I filled up, it was about 1.45 francs per litre, which equals about 5.49 francs per gallon. At today's exchange rate, that's about $4.30 per gallon. Of course, they actually have an excellent public transportation system here so in theory you really shouldn't have to spend that much time in your car...
