If the price of gasoline in Germany is about $1 per liter, what is the equivalent price of gasoline in dollars per gallon? I know that 1 gallon =3.79 liter l liter= 0.26 gallon but I am not sure how to figure the cost?

  $1.00 * 3.79 = ? You must have an old book. The current German price of gasoline per gallon is $7.08. http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/international/gas1.html

  1 litre costs $1 so 3.79 litres cost $3.79 but 3.79 litres = 1 US gallon so it costs $3.79 per gallon (BTW, it is much more expensive than that in Germany. They are currently paying about $7 per US gallon) http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/international/gas1.html
