You missed the math. Joe's price of $1 is per _liter_, not gallon. He's
paying almost $4 per gallon, while you're paying $2.30. I have a hard
time calling that "cheap".
Now, how would one do this calculation in OO.o Calc? Or Gnumeric? Or
maybe some other Debian math-y proggie? Maybe, how would one draw a
graph comparing the two prices?
