flyingseapig Posted May 8, 2008 Report Posted May 8, 2008 With gas prices what they are, I kind of feel like this some days. Enjoy! Quote
TomPPL Posted May 8, 2008 Report Posted May 8, 2008 You're lucky, MOGAS in the UK costs up to £1.15 GBP per litre, that works out about $2.10 USD per litre , what do you guys Stateside pay for your gas per litre..? Quote
Autorotator Posted May 8, 2008 Report Posted May 8, 2008 4.55 litres per gallon would equate to $2.10 x 4.55 = $9.56 per gallon. Yikes! Quote
e36_m3_turbo Posted May 8, 2008 Report Posted May 8, 2008 But isnt public transit way better than the U.S.? Quote
Gomer Pylot Posted May 8, 2008 Report Posted May 8, 2008 In the UK, taxes are higher than the total cost in the US, ~$4.50/gal. US federal gas tax is $0.18/gal. Quote
rick1128 Posted May 8, 2008 Report Posted May 8, 2008 4.55 litres per gallon would equate to $2.10 x 4.55 = $9.56 per gallon. Yikes! You might want to check. But I believe that 4.55 liters per gallon is the Imperial gallon conversion. For US gallons it is 3.8 liters per gallon. Quote
ADRidge Posted May 8, 2008 Report Posted May 8, 2008 It's funny you posted that. I was just having a conversation yesterday with a buddy of mine stationed in Europe, and we were talking about gas prices. I asked him "so, do you have to bring your own lube to the station or do they provide some for you?" Quote

500E Posted May 9, 2008 Report Posted May 9, 2008 Diesel is £1. 22 per ltr in most places in UK, but in central London there is at least one site charging £1.44 per ltr.The public transport ain't that good especially in rural arias, and the cost of trains is beyond belief if you want to travel at peak times, and we also had a man called Beeching who thought it was a good idea to close rural rail lines decades ago and move freight to the roads. Hey Ho theres government for you, but boy do they collect some tax on fuel. Quote
