In September 2016, the cost of gasoline in Berlin was around 1.26 euros per liter. 
What would the equivalent cost be in U.S. dollars per gallon?

1 U.S. dollar ≈ 0.876 euros
1 gallon ≈ 3.785 liters 

The equivalent cost would be $ per gallon.

To find the equivalent cost of gasoline in U.S. dollars per gallon, we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Convert the cost from euros per liter to euros per gallon
1. The cost in euros per liter is given as 1.26 euros.
2. Since 1 gallon is approximately 3.785 liters:
   \[
   \text{Cost in euros per gallon} = 1.26 \text{ euros/liter} \times 3.785 \text{ liters/gallon} = 4.7681 \text{ euros/gallon}
   \]

### Step 2: Convert the cost from euros to U.S. dollars
1. The exchange rate is 1 U.S. dollar ≈ 0.876 euros. So, to convert euros to dollars:
   \[
   \text{Cost in dollars per gallon} = \frac{4.7681 \text{ euros/gallon}}{0.876 \text{ euros/dollar}} = 5.443 \text{ dollars/gallon}
   \]

### Final Answer
The equivalent cost would be **$5.44 per gallon** (rounded to the nearest cent).
