We are paying NZ $1.14 per litre, which at current exchange rate would be
roughly US $2.85 per gallon. That is primarily because of NZ dollar
strengthening against US dollar, otherwise prices would have been a lot
higher.

So was my reply, but I guess it was too early in the morning for
humor. Should have added a :-)
I burn 7 gal a day going back and forth to work. My wife isn't quite
so bad, she only burns about a tank and a half a week.
Unfortunatly, to move closer to work wouldn't save us any money, as
the house payment would increase in size more than the money we spend
on gas. At this point, anyway.
If it hit's $2.50 a gal, we might reconsider.
