Gas Hits 6.20 Per Gallon!

That's the June 28 average price in Japan, converted from yen-per-liter to it's dollar-gallon equivalent.  Japan has a gasoline surplus, so some gas may be exported to the US. In May, a meeting involving the U.S. Department of Energy, Japan's trade ministry Exxon Mobil Corp and Nippon Oil, was held in San Francisco to discuss gasoline exports to the US from Japan.
