$2 per gallon doesn't sound so bad

When you pull up to a gas station here and it says the price is 1.48, that doesn't sound so bad until you realise that's per liter, not gallon. Even then it doesn't seem too bad because, if you're like most Americans, you haven't a clue how many liters there are per gallon, but it's got to be close, right? So then you look it up and realise there are almost four liters per gallon, so the price is actually CHF 5.62 per gallon. Translating that to dollars knocks it all the way down to a mere $4.48 per gallon. Bottom line: filling my relatively small tank this morning cost about 77 francs, or around $61.
