Yeah, I gave up trying to figure it out - Where's Tower when you need him (he's a math whiz )?  I think it makes sense.   I live in California, so our gas is higher than other states because our gas is specially treated for some environmental reason.

got it (i think)! works out to about $us3.55 per gallon

[Anna]

Wow!   So you're actually paying more then we are!   I'm glad I drive a small car too.

[blackcat20]

how much do you pay?

Im assuming my calculations are correct...if 1 litre=.264 gallons, then we pay $au1.25 per 0.26 gallons, = $au4.73 per gallon, = approx $us3.55 per gallon...

[Anna]

We're at around US $3 a gallon for mid-grade (the price depends on the grade of gas).

[blackcat20]

yeah...the price above is for standard petrol, its a bit more for the premium stuff (though it seems to go further, so prob cheaper in the long run)

[Trey]

well im glad u had the patience to work that out 

[sixpence33]

  AMAZING! I ALWAYS THOUGHT WE WERE HIGH! I GUESS US AMERICANS ARE A BIT SPOILED.

[blackcat20]

well im glad u had the patience to work that out

only took about a minute (and i have too much time on my hands, my lab work is all running on its own...)

Well if my math isn't too dodgy I have just worked out that in the UK (London more specifically) the price of petrol is currently 94p per litre which is:

£3.56 a gallon
USD 6.28
AUD 8.25

Now that really is worth a few 

If my subtraction and division is way off please someone correct me 

[mcgonagall]

well we all know that someone is getting rich it just doesn't happen to be us lmao

Hang on - are you taking into account the fact that the American gallon is tiny?

A British imperial capacity measure (liquid or dry) is equal to 4.545 liters. The United States liquid unit is equal to 3.785 liters.

Yes we do pay more for our petrol because it's taxed to high heaven (soon this will be something we have worldwide eventually - a carbon credit - one person get's a carbon allocation that they can "produce" in a year or so, or at least that's the plan), but the Americans have a smaller gallon, did you account for that Sharon? Sorry if you did
