    The thread below made me curious. How much do you pay at the pump? I pay $1.45 per gallon which ends up being around $40 to fill my tank (guess what type of vehicle I own). [Edit] 1 US gallon = 3.7854118 litre [/Edit]

    Something between $1.53 & $1.67 (just got home from a long drive, & haven't had to buy gas here yet). Last time, it was roughly $26 to fill the tank. How do you move in a world of fog, That's always changing things? Makes me wish that i could be a dog, When i see the price that you pay.

            wow! What do you drive? I keep my Tahoe pretty well beat up, but that's because I take it off-road on the weekends :D I love to climb sandstone. I keep a nice.. uhm... "protective" coat of mud on it. You know to protect people from seeing it's actual color, but that's pretty common thing to do where I live.

                  On my car, the tank contains 62l, so 62€. Generally I fill it with 55l (I don't wait it's totally empty), with that I can travel between 600 to 800km, according to the kind of travel, urban or extra-urban.

                      I paid 79.9p per litre last week. That is GB£3.025 for one US Gallon. Or in US$5.66 per US Gallon. Or €1.20 per litre.

                                It's probably about $6.30 a gallon US The octane is 96 unleaded I think a big problem is that you have to take the fuel type into account.

                                    I'm paying about $1.80/gallon here in South Florida. And to think that a couple of years ago it was around $1.25! Someone's getting very rich! :mad: Regards, Alvaro

                                      Jeez! You complain at paying $1.80 per US gallon! Think about the poor sods in Scotland paying $5.66 per US gallon. And if you were to go into the Highlands of Scotland you can add upto another 10p per litre (so that makes a total of $6.37 per US Gallon) Alvaro Mendez wrote: Someone's getting very rich! Yes, the UK Treasury, in Scotland's case. During the fuel tax price protests in the UK and number of interesting statistics came to light. The Government tried to throw some of the blame at the oil companies pointing at their profit figures. It appeared that the oil companies only make about 1% profit on sales at service stations.

                                        It's probably about $6.30 a gallon US The octane is 96 unleaded I think a big problem is that you have to take the fuel type into account. Like in some 3rd world places gasoline is worse than kerosene, or in Brazil it is mixed with alcohol and water Regardz Colin J Davies

                                          The thread below made me curious. How much do you pay at the pump? I pay $1.45 per gallon which ends up being around $40 to fill my tank (guess what type of vehicle I own). [Edit] 1 US gallon = 3.7854118 litre [/Edit]
