How much per gallon?

Aline Mendelsohn Orlando Sentinel

For good reason, everyone lately has been grousing about the soaring prices of gas and milk. Milk costs about $3.50 a gallon, and regular unleaded gas has topped more than $2 a gallon. And if your car likes to drink fancy schmancy gas – well, just fuhgeddaboutit.

Then again, what if we had to buy more things by the gallon? If you look at it that way, gas and milk are a steal!
