Re: [DML] DCS'12

["Welmoed" <welmoedj@xxxxxxxxx>]

I agree with you.
I had the opportunity to drive my D from Texas to DCS 2008.
Hear a lot of whining and sobbing over the $3 gas prices.
We pay about three times that amount for a gallon (now Euro 1,78 per liter times 3.8 to get a gallon).
And yes, a lot of people over here also do get in tears about those prices.
Alike you I do not get too much frustrated about it. I just drive and enjoy the driving.
