Gas prices, Apt
So, a liter of lead-free is 1.57 Euros or $2.11. Four liters is about 1.05 gallons. Doing some rounding, gas costs about $8.40 a gallon. Diesel comes in at $7.20 a gallon. Luckily, our little Renault Clio got about 49 miles per gallon to take a little sting off the price. Why we don't have more small 4-cylinder diesel cars over here I do not know. Modern direct injection diesels have none of the problems associated with the old smoky diesels. Ours was a smooth accelerator and rode very well (a French car trait). Someday
