619 dollars for one oil? I'm guessing it's 6.19/l (or maybe even gallon? Who knows with these) but wow these are awkward to read.

Gas prices in the US are in $/gal, so $6.19 per gallon. Some signs just don't include the decimal.

I understand your confusion... I went to Canada for the first time recently and their prices are cents per liter, but (much like American prices) that's not actually indicated anywhere.

But you can drive many football stadions with that much oil

they didn't bother with the decimal point just in case.

I buy my gas at Donny's Discount gas. 619 8/10ths

The period used to be permanent but then they had double digit gas so they had to remove it.
