I don't even want to hear it

I'm hearing a lot of waa-waa on the online news about the US economy and the gas prices.
Nope. I'm not even listening.
Want to do a little math with me?
okay, currently in Swaziland we pay $9.60Rand for a liter of petrol. Times that by 4 to make a gallon, that...$38.4Rand for one gallon.
Well how much is that you ask?
Today the dollar is at 7.8 for exchange into Rand, so divide $38.4R by 7.8 to find the us dollar price... and viola! our gas prices.
Don't beleive me? Try your own calculator. You'll find we are paying $4.92 US dollars for one gallon of Gas.
I better not hear you whining again.
