In the Netherlands we pay:

Super zonder lood 95 oct. 1,28 Euro / Liter

1 gallon = 3.79 liter
1 dollar = 0,78 euro

that means -> 1 gallon = 3,78 us-dollar

and tomorrow we are training 125 miles from home..... :(

Get a Prius. They are still subsidized a little by Toyota, so you are getting much more car that you are paying for. And they are a lot more fun to own and drive that you might think. The only issue is whether you can shuttle poles around on them.

There may still be a government rebate also.

A coworker bought a Honda Civic Hybrid about 9 months ago and with the rebates it was actually $400 cheaper than the regular gas Civic! Gets around 50MPG.
