While listening to Sarkozy Wants To Tax France's Carbon Footprint I noticed that the figure 24 cents per gallon was quoted. Given that no European country uses gallons for fuel (let alone US gallons which are different from UK gallons), I checked to see what people who weren't converting the figure were saying.

That figure is 4 cents per liter. This is quite different from the 6.3 cents per liter that you're quoting (after conversion back to international standards).

Please leave measurements in stories in metric rather than converting them and making errors.
