Not sure if serious. If not, ignore my post:
If price per gallon would increase by 1 cent than price per literwould increase roughly 0.25 cent. So 1 liter goes 1 cent more expensive when price per gallon gets 4 cents more expensive.
To think that it goes 4 fold is just ridiculous assumption based on paranoia
According to this logic you should advocate selling gas by tons, if 1 liter goes up by 1 cent, 1 ton also goes up by only 1 cent
