Bush warns of 'tough summer' with higher petrol prices
From the story:
At the same time, US retail pump prices were topping an average three dollars a gallon (3.8 liters) in many places in the country, up 60 cents -- 33 percent -- from a year ago.
If the average price of gas was 60 cents lower a year ago, and now the average price is $3.00, it was $2.40 a gallon. Thirty-three percent of $2.40 is 80 cents.
Gaaaaaaahhhhh!!!
