I actually base all Gil values around the price of a small house (5m).
A small house should be affordable to those in the upper-middle class. So, say upper-middle class is a six figure income - houses are split over a 30 year mortgage, so let's say that the average housing for the upper-middle class is 500k.
That breaks down to a 30 year mortgage at $1500 a month for 30 years...
Okay, let's skip the fact that there's interest and just be basic. Let's ignore that I suck at math.
Essentially: $1 USD = 10 Gil.
A drink should cost 40 Gil.
However, looking at ingame items? A Chocobo Porter is like a taxi, but they cost between 10 - 150 gil. No taxi I've ever taken has cost me $1.
Anyway, this is my personal headcanon.
