Nearly $6 a U.S. gallon to fill my car up now.
I've not been out much in the last few weeks so havn't had much need to top up the tank.
Now I find Petrol/gas (98 RON unleaded) has gone up from €1.12 a litre to ....... €1.30 (within 2 weeks) that means it costs $ 5.92 a US gallon. Now in the USA I have heard you are complaining about $2-$2.50 a gallon????
My car has a 45litre/about 12 gallon tank , so it costs $70.34 to fill up. Shit hot.
Luckily it does 50mpg and would do more if I stuck to 50mph...........

So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
of people doing little or nothing and then bitching
about another group that actually does something
to improve their lives.

Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
and drag down the features of age,
no folds or creases from unkempt wear
eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012

If it weren't for "Fear Tax" we'd be at about $1.80-90.
This may clear up the confusion. Venezuela owns their oil, look how much they pay for gas. http://bigpicture.typepad.com/commen...ices_from.htmlCoarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles

It's not just the exchange rate but the actual worth of the currency to the people. 1.30 Euro seems like 5.91 American Dollars.

I drive a 1.1 litre petrol car, and when driving before I know what , the bloody thing is cruising at 70mph. So why bother with big engines??? (Just my opinion)
When I was in the US I heard that a 2 litre was regarded as a "small engine", that true?

No one here has a 12g tank. Most are 22 and 30g.
It cost me $30 EOD to drive to work.

4 litres=1 gallon
1.30 Euro per liter=5.20 Euro per Gallon.
I remember the first time I went to Canada I thought I was getting a steal at $.96, then I realized it was per liter, sucked ass.If sense were common, everyone would have it.

I put $22 in my Honda Civic over a week ago and still have a little less than 1/4 tank.

my Audi has a 17g tank but I wish it were 22g. i'm sure if I drove like a normal person I would get more than 12 mpg.. Originally Posted by dg806

Well if 1.30 Euro = $1.5780, Then the correct figure would be $1.5780 x 3.785 Lts would Equal $5.97 a U.S Gallon.
