There is no little US gallon--it's a gallon. And it's hardly free--costs over $20 to fill the auto.

I paid $2.359/L on the weekend. Of course my car is European and needs premium. Even if I had a car that ran on regular it would still cost over $2.10 per litre. There are some downsides to living in a small remote country.

My subaru cost about 22 dollars currently to fill up and it only gets about 263 miles per tank.
Miss my integra, 10 gallons would go 400 miles.

I miss my Corollas, good for 35mpg. But I don't miss taking bikes apart to bring them anywhere. With the minivan I don't even have to pull the front wheel off the tandem.

Yeah milk and dairy products are also expensive here. But doctors visits cost about $50. Almost all prescriptions are capped at $5. If you are a heavy medicine user you can get them further subsidised. Referral to a specialist from your GP and the tests the specialists request: nil.

We were 18 originally, but then it dropped to 13. I didn't realize that when one day I asked our admin how many vacation days I had remaining. She told me and I said she must be wrong. She pulled out her log and said "Well...At the beginning of the year you had 5 weeks with one carry over week...." Huh? That's when she clued me in to the policy change from 18 to 13 years. Nice surprise. But I had so many days remaining that for the next year I officially carrier over 1 week and unofficially 1 week.
