Gas in Afghanistan Costs $400 Per Gallon : TreeHugger

Gas in Afghanistan Costs $400 Per Gallon : TreeHugger: "And we worry about the price of gas here.

The Marines run through 800,000 gallons per day.

According to the Hill, the $400 per gallon reflects what in Pentagon parlance is known as the 'fully burdened cost of fuel.'"
