One For My Transatlantic Buddies...
Just to make y'all feel warm and fuzzy... petrol in the UK is selling for about 122.9 pence per litre. An American gallon is 3.76 litres (I think...) which means that (at today's exchange rate) petrol is on sale for $9.04 per gallon...

too freakin' much.
ReplyDelete$4.42 a gallon today.
BTW, I don't know if you know or not but the US gallon is 4/5ths an Imperial gallon. I don't do litres and neither should you. ;-D Outside of class anyway.
My tank holds about 13 gallons and I'd gone 288 miles and a shade. It took about 12.12something or so to fill it up today. I have the car a little overloaded at the moment, but considering it's a small Honda SUV the milage was just under 24 MPG, which isn't bad.
I say next time we have a war with the camel jockeys we should just start a war for the hell of it, take all their damn oil and not apologize for it - then we can grab Ted Kennedy, and all those other bozo bunny hugging polar bear loving granola crunching sandal wearing bearded hippy tie dyed tshirt wearing tree climbing ****ers and get them in a group and take them all up to Point Barrow in Alaska, let them freeze to death, sharpen a point on their dead carcasses and use that as the drill head to start drilling in the Anwar. Had we started when we'd wanted to years ago, we'd be just about self sufficient. That goes for drilling off Fla and Ca. too as the heathen Chinamen and cubans are doing with their slant drilling....then we ought to line up every politician that stood in the way, line em up against the wall, and rip the flesh off them. Then after that we'll get real mad and build some new oil refineries, because those panty waists haven't approved a new one in 20 years even though we've had 20-25 millions of illegal aliens in plus our own natural population growth.
And if McCain doesn't take his head out of his backside and get religion real soon we can nail his crown jewels to the wall too.
With your North Sea oil the fact that gas sells for the $9 bucks a gallon should have seen a fall of the government. An election at least.
Too much, Mac - $4.14 - but I know that's nothing compared to home! I'l be back in a week or so, I'm bringing my money in an extra case!
ReplyDeleteIn Malaysia, we pay about 80 US cents a litre, a 40% increase from the old price 2 weeks ago. And we're ready to topple the government =)
ReplyDeleteIn Detroit we're right around $4/gallon, $4.10 or $4.15 in the posh parts of town. I paid $3.959 (why do they insist on doing that ridiculous nine-tenths of a cent thing?) to gas up today in an only-slightly-dodgy neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteIn southwestern Ontario, where my beloved lives, after liter-to-gallon and Canadian-to-US conversion they're paying about $4.50 or $4.75 US per gallon.
Mac, I do appreciate that we're not yet where you are...but at least you're not buying diesel!!! :-)
