Dear Lauri, You of course do not want to know about the price wars here in the SF Bay area.
$0.95 a gallon... or about $0.25 per liter.... just down the street. Now that is not normal but.... a good price these days is $1.10 a gallon.
Now beer.... about $3.50 a liter for good beer! Budwieser and all that.... about half of that.
