Ref. my previous post: Gasoline price data in the Netherlands:

1 gallon = 4.54609 liter

1 Euro = US$ 1.30

Euro 1.729 per liter = 2.2477 * 4.54609 = US$ 10.2182 per gallon!!

Edit: Sorry guys, wrong info...1 gallon = 3.78541178

See post 1285 for the new calculation...

You win! Or maybe you lose if you have to pay that much!

I think a US gallon is 3.8 litres, so more like $8.55 per gallon.

Prices like that, I would turn those saddlebags you use into fuel tanks, just I wouldn't have to fill up as often.

You're right:

US gallon for fluids is 3.78541178 ltr

Euro 1.729 per liter = 2.2477 * 3.78541178 = US$ 8.508 per gallon

I agree! I thought we were paying a lot at $3.65 a gallon (US).

I believe the next challenge is your bike with front or rear tire in a porta-john...
