You do the Math!

The minivan arrived this week so on Saturday we drove out to our house, stopping to buy our first tank of gas in Poland. The tank was empty (shipping regulations) so this was a full purchase. The top number is the cost, in złotych, the second number is amount of fuel in liters, and the bottom number is price per liter. The exchange rate is currently floating around 2zł/$.

To calculate, use the following formula-- (Cost/2)/(Quantity/3.79)=$/gal

(hint: $9.08/gal or, $162.43 for a full tank!!!!!!!!)

WOW and our prices are going down a bit. I paid $3.81 9/10 at BJs the other day.

I try to visit your blog weekly and enjoy reading your messages and seeing your photos.

Keep up the great work!

Now, does this mean that I have to develop a blog?
