Jarrett,
That's Aust ( 82c in the US Dollar).
George (down under)


Ahh.. there's the rub.. we're $1.10/ltr USD. The stupid thing is that I
live ~40 miles from the US. I think I'll get me a truck w/ a gas tank
bed which is plumbed into the fuel system and then just drive
down to the US to buy my gas once a week [or two] it all comes
from Canada anyway.. but I avoid paying the stupid tax..  it's
~ $0.77/ltr down there so.. that'd make it worth it.. I'd save $160 on
500ltr of fuel.. anyway.. kinda wandering down the 'off topic' garden
path here.. Paul's gonna slap me upside the head pretty soon :-)
