15% more than a regular tanker...
seems like just one more reason to raise the cost of a gallon of gas to me.

Ughh...that was one heck of a butt-ugly craft if ever I've seen one! (I'm referring to the sail/solar-powered tanker...)

Ok guys, remember when comparing gas prices, you're moving in totally different universes. Here, in the US we use the Gallon as a measurement, so I pay about $3.35 for regular unleaded. But a gallon is approximately 4.6 liters, so measured that way, we still have a relatively speaking cheap gas (though most Americans would most vehemently disagree!) But then I'm originally from Sweden, where the last gas price I noticed was SEK 14/L. Did I mention that I drive a gas guzzler, an Infiniti?
