You missed the math. Joe's price of $1 is per _liter_, not gallon. He's paying almost $4 per gallon, while you're paying $2.30. I have a hard time calling that "cheap". Now, how would one do this calculation in OO.o Calc? Or Gnumeric? Or maybe some other Debian math-y proggie? Maybe, how would one draw a graph comparing the two prices? -- Kent West Westing Peacefully <http://kentwest.blogspot.com> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
