Price of gas
Question of the Day, Oct. 23
A: This sign shows the price of gas at a station in Sanyo Onoda, Japan. The lowest grade is 146 yen per LITER (not gallon). A liter is just a little more than a quart; and a yen is worth a little more than a penny. So, here's a math challenge: approximately how much does that amount to in dollars per gallon? A lot.
