USA Gas prices before and after Katrina

USA Today have two very interesting nationwide US maps of gas prices, before and after Katrina here. Week Aug 23/31 National Avg = $2.71 Sept 3/5 =$3.04 = Average 11% rise.

This means gas in the US costs about 78 cents a litre retail, in the UK and Europe it is about $1.70 per litre retail.

Pic shows those heady days when gas cost less than beer.
