"Wallace has a light bulb moment..."
Epiphany: the sudden realization or comprehension of the essence or meaning of something.
Please pardon this interruption while I have an epiphany or two:
- My sisters and I have always kidded my father about never wearing shorts and having white legs. This summer - when I go to see my family - It will have been a year since the last time my poor little white chicken legs have seen the sun.............. *Bing* - "Oh no! I have my father's legs!!!"
Don't worry dad... I won't make fun of your white legs this summer!
- I just filled up our little car with gas... well... diesel.... I paid 54.30 EURO for that tank.............*Bing* - "I paid the equivalent of $86.47 for that tank!!!" *BING** "That means that I am paying $8.28 per gallon of gas (diesel) here!!! Wow... America has it really good!"

I hear ya! We filled up our car today...63 GBP. wowzers!
Wallace,
I'm not sure how you came to that figure...Remember, a US gallon is about 20% less that an Irish (or UK) gallon.
My guess is that it's closer to the $6 mark - which is still enough!
I'm getting a bike.
Cosmo - I didn't realize that... thanks.
