Petrol/Gas prices
February 15, 2012 at 9:28 pm
If I've got my calculations right it works out that here in the U.K. we pay approx $9.56 for a gallon of petrol/gas (£1.35 per litre).
(£1.35 x 4.54) x $1.56 = $9.56
How much is yours?

Wow, I was bitching at roughly $3.50 just a few hours ago. However, we should take median income and whatnot into account before we start comparing the impact of gas prices.

It was $3.35 a gallon for regular here in Huntsville today. That’s up more than 11% from the $2.99 it got down to around Christmas.

Yeah, my problem is we're at $3.70 now but we were at $3.15 a few months ago. What happened there?
I could fill up my Jeep for under $20 when I got it 8 years ago. Same tank size as my Focus. WTF.

Prices fluctuate wildly here anything from $AUD1.35 to $AUD1.49/ litre
Depending on which conversion you use (UK, USA) it is about the same Dar
