Looking a little better.

Is that a gallon or a litre?...we pay Ā£1.27 approx per litre depending where we buy it ... so a gallon (4.5 litres) costs us Ā£5.72 currently...which is the equivalent approx $9.35 US dollars
 
OMG $2.98 a gallon?.....that's the equivalent of approx Ā£1.80 pound sterling... but we are paying almost $9.35 per gallon....and most of that is being paid in Taxes, it really makes us very angry here as you can imagine


Hya Ina, public transport here is only useful if you live in a large town or city otherwise it's almost non existent in rural areas...and even the fares on public transport are super high.

For example, I work in the centre of London. It's approx 20 miles from door to door takes about 30 minutes. The train is absolutely packed with commuters and I rarely can get a seat...yet the annual season ticket for just a 20 mile journey is Ā£2,632.00 which in US dollars is $4,276.55 ...can't drive into the city because at peak hours like all cities the roads are gridlocked so it leaves no alternative but to use public transport.

What are the comparable public transport costs where you all are outside the UK?
 
Last week on the way back from Florida, I paid $2.98 in Southern Virginia and most of South Carolina.
 
Tesco, where I usually buy my petrol, is Ā£1.27 per litre at present. You can get up to 20p a litre off depending how much you spend in the store.
 
You folk in the US don't realise how fortunate you are to have such cheap petrol, ours is priced by the litre in the UK!
 
That price isn't too bad. Believe our gas prices slowly going down. Believe I paid $1.29 per litre the other day. Living as close to the U.S. border as I do, a lot of people here hop across on a regular basis to fill up. Definitely worth their while if timed right. Earlier this summer we were paying $1.40 per litre!
