I don’t know about where you live but the price of gasoline in Taiwan has gotten out of hand!
I checked the price today – liters to gallons, then NT$ to US$ – and found that we are paying $3.75 per gallon of 92 octane gasoline. Compare that to the year I graduated high school . . . .

Stop the presses – right after I hit the publish button I found a price chart for what other countries are paying for their go juice. Check out this chart that is 3 years old (go to the chart for a list of 37 countries)
I’ll stop whining now.
