Price of gas

While I haven't driven a car since March 2006 (not a fact I'm proud of) and don't know the exact price of gas in the States, I can assume from the news reports, it is continually going up.

Since being here in Senegal, I have been meaning to report the price of gas here to you. It is sold by the liter/litre. The current price of regular gas (premium gas is closer to 700 CFA per liter) is 606 CFA per liter. A liter is roughly a quarter of a gallon and at the current exchange rate, one US dollar equals 444 CFA. As a result, a gallon of regular gas here in Dakar is currently..........

$5.16 a gallon
