While you guys in the USA are thinking about petrol soon to be $6 a gallon
have a thought for us poor brits..
I just paid £1 a litre today. Taking into account theres nigh on 4.5
litres
in a gallon..

4.50 GBP
United Kingdom Pounds = 8.28851 USD
United States Dollars
1 GBP = 1.84189 USD 1 USD = 0.542920 GBP

That makes our fuel at $8.29 now... not in the future (

Bet that makes you feel better...lol

If its an imperial gallon then it may be what magnum claimed. either way
the boys in euro pay a boatload more than we do.

Sounds about right.. We pay a boatload more in a lot of things but i guess
its just the way it is. House prices can be the worst. You wouldnt believe
some of the "crap" some people are buying that costs over £150K ($276,461).
The average house is around £200K ($368,619) and anything half decent would
be £250K ($460,773) and over except in London where you would have trouble
buying a small flat for that with no land at all... I wouldnt mind
emigrating to the US but i see that as a dream rather than a reality...

you are speaking to the wrong person looking for house price sympathy.
60 miles east of nyc and a 1500 sq ft house on a 1/4 acre goes for 369K
and if its new 10k per year in taxes. people rent their sheds to
illegals to pay the bills.

1 US Gallon = 3.785 Liters.
1 imp Gallon = 4.545785 Litres.
1 imp Gallon = 1.201 US Gallon


either way the boys in euro pay a boatload more than we do.

At £1 per Litre, we are paying £4.54 per imp Gallon, about £3.78 per US Gallon.

I am not sure of the present rate, but taking Graham's figure...

1 GBP = 1.84189 USD 1 USD = 0.542920 GBP

I make that around $6.96 per US Gallon.

Peter.

Ok, lets go.

'Normal' fuel with 91 oktane is about 1,43 EURO per litre in Germany.
This is 5.43 EUR per US-gallon (3.8 litres)
Currency chart is 0.7985 US$for 1 Euro.
So we have to pay 6.80US$/ gallon.

Diesel is about 1.18Euro/ litre

But.... about 70% of it is TAXES & VAT.

I drive a 1993 VW-T4 model with 2.4ltr diesel engine and I feed it with=20
rape-oil for 0.68 EUR per ltr wich is 3.24 US$ per US-gallon and gives a =

rather cheap milage per Euro for european circumstances.....

And to become on topic: I have a CB-radio in my car... :-)
