Notes:
- When we first came to Japan in 1988, gas prices were 128 yen per liter.
- The exchange rate was 135 yen per dollar.
- This made a gallon of gas $3.51.
- Gas prices have gone down dramatically in the past few months.
- The current price of gas is not so bad for Japan standards.
- The exchange rate decline has kept prices higher.
