Rebecca loves to sleep in the car. Somtimes it took no more than a mile or two and she would turn her lead into the side of the seat and fall asleep. She does not appear to be interested in the price or gasoline!
Biker Mama and Rebecca going out for an evening ride! While many of us here in the United States would jump into the car and head for the Dairy Queen or Walmart the Dutch love their bikes for such adventures.
I took a picture of the local gas stations price list the other day. This one was a few miles north of Rebecca's house. While I did my photography she was probably snoring in the back seat! Anyway what does Euro 1.409 mean. First that is the price for a liter. There are 3.784118 liters per our gallon. Thus the price for a gallon of the gasoline would be Euro 5.33. Now we have to figure how Euro 5.33 converts to USD. If I did my figuring correctly Euro 5.33 would be USD 7.13. So what that means is that gasoline in The Nederlands is about $7.13. Now I just bought gasoline for the Grand Caravan today and paid $3.129. Thus we need to heed the fact and be overjoyed that our gasoline is less than half the cost of their gasoline. Thus we should motor about with great pride that we can do so much more cheaply than they can! Maybe that's why so many bikes are everywhere over there and they are not used only for pleasure but for transportation to work, school, shopping, and whatever.
