Did you ever dream that you would think $2.50 a gallon gas was a bargain?

You guys.....here petrol/gas (in Australia) is, if we are lucky, about $1.45 a litre - if that is mulitplied by a little under 4 you will have the price per US gallon.  ($3.85)

And I do not think our wages are very much different from yours.

It seems as though we are paying about the same price for gas. I don't know what the wages are there but I am making a lousy $10.50 an hour here.
Which is not good for this area. However, it is better than Montana where I just came from.

$2.15 a gallon in North West Arkansas.  Who knows what it will be tomorrow.  I am grateful for the price reduction, no matter how brief it stays cheaper.

It seems the gas goes down daily around here. Yesterday I paid 2.63 a gallon when I came home from work. I went to work this AM and found that it was 2.59 a gallon. Tonight when I came home from work, it was only 2.53. It is now going down as quickly as it went up around here.

It seems that it will go down to around $1.99 a gallon and stay there till the recession is over, so lets see, the choice is a bargain in gas and no jobs, or jobs and give your pay from it to the gas companies.....such a bargain... :console:

Tonight...4:30 pm...Tontitown Arkansas....$1.96 per gallon.  I am amazed and just suspicious enough to think the prices have been manipulated because of the election.....

Happy Sabbath

It was still $1.55 a litre yesterday  in my neck of the woods. Forget what that translates to in US $s.

Is "card" in this connection an Aussie expression?

 :oops: Yes. It is Johann.

Now, to go about explaining that expression. :dunno:

"You are a card" = "You make me laugh" or probably more accurately "Your sense of humour makes me laugh".

Emma, can you help me out here please?  :australia:

About right, Chrissie.

Unfortunately I cannot find my copy of John O'Grady's Book of Aussie English to check!!  I would not want to use something as boring as the Macquarie Dictionary :ROFL:
