I gallon UK = 4.55 litres 1 gallon US = 3.79 litres Current exchange rate from here is = $1.9918 per Ã‚Â£1 Andy's calculations are robust. But, Andy is paying far higher prices than we are currently - Petrol is charged at Ã‚Â£1.069 per litre (including Government fuel tax and combined VAT) Diesel is charged at Ã‚Â£1.109 per litre. You are more ripped off down Somerset/Avon way than we are in my part of rural Lincolnshire. But compared Europe and the US this is rip off Britain and mainly down to Government Tax greed. It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues ID: 731411 ·

You are more ripped off down Somerset/Avon way than we are in my part of rural Lincolnshire. I know. These are supermarket prices too. If I go to the local garage it is Ã‚Â£1.19 / Litre. It's hurting now isn't it, but the Government aren't listening. They want us out of our cars, but we don't have anywhere else to go! The public transport here is non existent. ID: 731413 ·

OUCH!!! Then I introduced the Cougar to Super Unleaded and got 13 MPG. TimeLord04 Have TARDIS, will travel... Come along K-9! Join Calm Chaos ID: 731419 ·
