So this weekend was full of AXing up here in the Pacific NW. My wife went with me and was our photographer for us. Though she is not trained very well with my D200 she did a fair job for us (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

In the first set we have some of our friends from the North and fellow World members.

Our gas is Metric. Much easier for the European engines to burn.

And for us to get screwed on the price $1.36 per liter, about 5.20 a gallon for 87 octane

Our SAE gas is much harder on the German engines than the Metric gas. My understanding is that it doesn't quite fit correctly in the metric fittings. And I understand the Europeans are getting almost twice the gas mileage we are (up to 50 Kilometers per Gallon!) And don't try to boggle us with your voodoo math. $1.36 sounds much better than the $4.05 we're paying!

I just wanted to clear up any confusion about these issues. Besides, if you don't ask, how are you ever going to learn?
