How about using the big mac index? How much fuel can you buy for the cost of a big mac?

Good question, does anyone know what a Big Mac costs?

I think I paid about $3.50 in the middle of NE somewhere near I-80 today.

I think they are $A 4.50 here, diesel is $A1.30/ ltr.

$3.50 in Illinois.

Does anybody really buy a Big Mac any more?

The more relevant comparison is the price of the oil in the fryer to diesel.

fryer: CAD $4.73 ($1.25 / litre)
diesel: CAD $3.97 ($1.05 / litre)

(today USD is worth about 98 cents CAD)

$3.15-3.19 here. Not bad when I see the other prices.

And Alastair, I believe there's 3.78 liters to the US gallon. So it's even worse than you thought.
