Interesting, they're all presidents who were either assassinated or nearly assassinated.
Is the next one Garfield or Lincoln?

Hey Deb,DebIreland said:I just clicked on this thread to get a general idea of petrol (gas) costs in the U.S. because we might be hiring a car for a few days of our holiday in WDW. Wow! I understand that a price increase is always a worry but I just need to share that I'm shocked at how cheap petrol is in the U.S. *compared* to here. I know that doesn't matter in the general scheme of things and it's all relative, but hey it might make you all feel better. lol! Here in Ireland we pay minimum 96 cent (that's euro cent) per litre. There's 4.55 litres to a gallon so that works out as 4.37 (euro) per gallon - that is roughly 5.70 U.S. dollars per gallon of petrol.
We are ripped off!
So next time you're worried about filling that tank just think of us misfortunate folk across the sea hording our pennies to meet these petrol costs (I'm half-joking - some weeks it's tough getting the bobs together to fill the tank) !!!
Happy driving everyone.

Who are the "bobs"? And why do they have to be present to fill your tank?
