That's not even that shocking.

I pay about $20 US for 5 ml of dental adhesive (glue).

That's about $4000 USD per liter or $16,000 per gallon.

hmmm OK then, 1 gallon is 3.785L.

We pay 1.19L so 1 gallon = NZ$4.50

Sooooo NZ$4.50 = US$2.52 per gallon or NZ$1.03L

Dayumm you guys have it cheap!!!! (but we have much cheaper insurance, any JDM car you want etc etc - Muuuuuwwwaaaaahhhh )

Ya that's only valid if you consider how often, and in what quantities one consumes those commodities....it would be great if I paid as much for a gallon of gas as I did for Vick's Nyquil, but at the same time needed a refill with the same frequency...

Still interesting though...
