Hard for me to explain what I'm trying to achieve in a question. I've actually built it in a fiddle, but I know theirs got to be a smarter way of doing this: http://jsfiddle.net/4QgtM/1/
Car ............................... $2000 Boat ............................. $20000 Airplane ........................ $200000
<ul>
<li><a href="javascript:void(0)">Car</a><i></i><span>$2000</span></li>
<li><a href="javascript:void(0)">Boat</a><i></i><span>$20000</span></li>
<li><a href="javascript:void(0)">Airplane</a><i></i><span>$200000</span></li>
Does anyone have a smart way of achieving this? thanks!

Check this out... (inspired by this)
CSS:
ul.leaders {
max-width: 40em;
padding: 0;
overflow-x: hidden;
list-style: none
}
ul.leaders li:before {
float: left;
width: 0;
white-space: nowrap;
content:". . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "". . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "". . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "". . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "
}
ul.leaders span:first-child {
padding-right: 0.33em;
background: white
}
ul.leaders span + span {
float: right;
padding-left: 0.33em;
background: white
}
HTML:
<ul class=leaders>
<li><span><a href="javascript:void(0)">Car</a></span>
<span>$200</span>
<li><span><a href="javascript:void(0)">Boat</a></span>
<span>$2000</span>
<li><span><a href="javascript:void(0)">Airplane</a></span>
<span>$20000</span>
<li><span><a href="javascript:void(0)">Hover craft</a></span>
<span>$200000</span>
<li><span><a href="javascript:void(0)">Supersonic futuristic machine</a></span>
<span>$2000000</span>
</ul>
"Just for the record" :
- another solution is to have a small dot in a img/png as background. (background: #FFF url(image.pn) repeat-x;
- one more solution is to have border-bottom: dotted;

line-height: 28px;
padding: 2px 0;
position: absolute;
