Petrol prices in USA.

[MOG]

From another board I visit (mostly Americans).

Oh, and by the way, I noticed that gas prices here jumped up by more than 10% in the last day or two. It had been running at around $2.90/gal early in the week, and yesterday was a whopping $3.39 at some stations.

As the UK Gallon is 1.2 US Gallons this works out at approx £1.41/Gallon or 31p/Litre (UK price).

'Expensive' petrol, but at least guns are cheap and readily available.

So what you are saying is you wouldn't complain if petrol went up 10% in a day where you are then?

I think the maths is wrong too.

What many people fail to remember is that although petrol prices may be cheaper, the distances between towns/cities is much larger.

Having re-read my post I believe what I am saying is 'here is an example of what some Americans pay for petrol and a comparison of prices'.

You're right, I re-checked and came up with £2.04/UK Gallon or 45p/Litre . Please check these figures.

Sorry 'The Complete Badger' not as good as it sounded.

Sorry, I assumed everyone knew that petrol was cheaper in the States. Is it news to you? ? ?

Damage to the air/environment per mile would appear to be the same and there are more people doing it.

Bollocks!! 45p is still pretty good compared to the rape our government carries out on us.

Might be worth bringing some back with you, sell it on the quiet. It could end up paying for the holiday.
All you will need is an extra case for the flight.

Funny but I could have sworn this was a thread about what you have to pay for petrol. Go start your own thread if you want to go off at a tangent.

Yup cheap as feck over there for your hols miles,mind you they rape you on the car insurance side of things after ye pay the CDW etc.
On a tangent,I got a few mates who live out there and the gen public are moaning like feck about the price of fuel out there,and cant believe me weekly updates on our prices.
Just imagine if our forecourts could still display the gallon price as it went up daily.
Was the metric display a ruse the goverment dinna want to fight coz they could add 2p a litre instead of 2p a gallon as in them old days??

Maybe BoF is reminding us, in some bigger picture kinda way, what we ALL pay for petrol. Yes?
