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...)

3.37 USD here (2.54 EUR, 2.13 GBP, 19.39 NOK) in Southwest Alabama... less than 10 miles from the oil terminal in Mobile.

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?
