For some reason, concerned, this link didn't work for me.

That does it. My next fillup will be in Caracas. And on the way I'll drop off a bag of old clothing in Sheridan, Arkansas. Is that near Whitewater?

The Europeans pay a price for gasoline that actually reflects its worth. In the US, we pay income tax to the federal government that uses the money to offset credits we give to oil companies to help them recover their investments in new production facilities and locations.
If gas cost me $6 to 7$ per gallon, I'd be less likely to drive my full-size SUV as much as I do.

I'm willing to pay more for comfort. But not much more. Sooner or later, I'll end up driving something that requires me to cover my body in Vaseline, lay down on the ground and then slither into it like a snake.

Are these prices US dollars? That's what I assumed. The "$" usually is taken to mean US dollars, as opposed to pounds or eurodollars, which have their own symbols. Mention of other country's dollars in the US press is usually stipulated, e.g., Australian dollars, Hong Kong dollars, etc. |
