Yeah John, The commodity of oil was, is and always has been sold by the barrel. Anybody who wants to compare prices will do so at the barrel price. Liters or gallons, if the price per barrel goes up the price at the pumps goes up the same percentage, metric, imperial or US measurements. The price per gallon has no bearing. You by gas by the liter, you car's tank holds so many liters, and gets so many kilometers to the liter. You know liters are smaller than gallons. And yes, if we were still on the imperial system of mesurement, then the percentage increase would be identical on a gallon of gas, and yes, it would be that much more. But what you fail to take in to consideration, is if you filled your car up by the gallon, it would still cost you as much, only thing is you'd get way less gallons than liters in your tank. So instead of paying $50 for 10 gallons, you pay $50 for 40 liters, as an example So you are really getting more for less! LOL!
