How much does fuel cost per gallon now? Thanks

It is approaching $4 a gallon, though a few gas stations are still just below that. Diesel is more expensive though.

A US gallon is 3.78 litres and a UK gallon is 4.54 litres.

A UK gallon is therefore around £5.22 (approx US$10.33).

A US gallon transferred to UK prices would be about £2.02.

It would cost £78.31 to fill up a 15 gallon UK tank in the UK (or US$155.06).

It would cost £30.30 to fill up a US 15 gallon tank in the US (or US$60).

So, if you work on half price when converting from the UK prices to US prices, you'll be about right and I certainly know where I'd rather be driving! [msnwink]

I'm confused.

If £78.31 equates to $155.06 that's an exchange rate of about $1.98/£1.

However unrealistic that rate might be today, doesn't $60 then equate to just £30.30?

Blott,

Your calculator has gone haywire!

A US gallon at UK prices would be £4.35

Good to see you and Robert passed the test to see if everyone was awake... [msnwink]
