Why do we need to have the US/Gallon in this article. By having that it could be sad that we should have AU$ etc Brian | (Talk) | New Zealand Portal 05:47, 29 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

I dunno. One *could* argue that the US Dollar is a good point of reference for the world as it's a well-known currency. The buying power of the dollar is well known in some parts of the world. I personally wouldn't object to it's removal, if you wish. --Chiacomo (talk) 05:52, 29 March 2006 (UTC)Reply
