We in the Uk have one of the highest costs of petrol/gas (car fuel)..in the world.

Here in the Uk we pay £1.29 per litre sterling which is the equivalent of $2.16 USD per litre, making a gallon cost around £6.30 sterling or in USD approx $10.80 per gallon.

The price varies from town to city sometimes even street to street as fule companies all vie for business but usually only by a few pennies up or down.

The USA on the other hand has one of the lowest cost of fuel in the world after the middle eastern countries, although I understand that USA prices can vary quite considerably from state to state.

Have a look here..and see what the world pays per litre in Petrol/Gas...and compare it to where you live..

I usually get mine at Tesco and it has been £1.26 per litre for a few weeks now, a lot cheaper than it was at the beginning of last year.
 
Here in Massey the gas is $1.42 a liter for the regular which is 87 octane...
The high test which is 92 octane goes for a whopping $1.60 a liter....

In many places (like Montreal or Toronto) the prices are even much higher..
Up to $1.56 for the regular gas......
 
Steve you're $1.42 is equal to approx 0.76 pence here....we would be absolutely over the moon if our fuel was as low as that.. ;)

bullie think I'm moving to Mississippi your fuel is the cheapest of all so far...of the western world..

Gas in this area of Nova Scotia went up 2 cents overnight making it $ 1.46 a litre.
In other parts of the province it is $ 1.48, the highest it has been to date.
 
Good grief...down 10 cents a litre overnight????? Wow...wish that it would go down so much here...the most it falls overnight would be one penny!!
 
Boy was that drop in price ever short lived..
Yesterday we were hit with an increase at the pumps that threw us for a big surprise..
Gas (regular) went from $1.31 a liter up to $1.45 a liter.....

The odd thing about all this is the price of oil a barrel has dropped and the price at the pumps has gone up drastically.. 14 cents a liter overnight !!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Sydney, Australia: I paid $1.54 per litre for 98 premium.
.........................eqiv: $5.85 per american gallon
.........................eqiv: $6.99 per british gallon.
 
Some ramblings....

International forums are really fun, especially when some of us have trouble with the numbers...
Like, a Cocanut is worth 3 Bananas and a Blueberry. Now when my sister inlaw in PEI tells me that the temperature is 33, I have to wonder if she's wearing a heavy coat, or has the A/C running.
When it comes to Gasoline... or Petrol... the conversion is even worse, because not only do I have to convert litres to gallons, but I also have to convert the currency from another country to the US dollar.

So, here's my top of the head conversion table... 1Gallon = 4 Litres... $1 US = $1 Aus or Canada... Gives a ballpark number... Looking at some countries, the gallon can range from $3 US to $10+ US... Makes me wonder what kind of cars "they" drive, and how many miles per year.

A long time ago, circa 1970 my job required about 30,000 miles/yr... with a car that got 15 miles/gallon. Hmmm... just imagine... if gas was $10 gallon then... my gasoline cost would have been $20,000/yr... . My actual salary at the time was $10,000 and my car cost $4000.... and the price per gallon of gas was $.36.

For currency actual conversion May 6 2014:

One US dollar equals X other, and One X--- equals 1$ US (get it?)
.72 Euro --- 1.39 US
1.07 Australian Dollar --- .93 US
1.10 Canadian Dollar ---.91 US
35.65 Russian Rubles --- .03 US
6.23 Chinese Yuan ---.16 US
60.16 Indian Rupee --.017 US
1.02 Japanese Yen ---.98 US
13.03 Mexican Peso --- .08 US


One Litre = .27 Gallons
One Gallon = 3.8 Litres

For those americans who may have forgotten, there was an attempt back in the 1970's to do a conversion to the Metric System. Many of us (like me) didn't do well with the change, and so we still live with dollars, miles, Fahrenheit, quarts, cups and quarts, pounds (ie. lbs) inches and feet and like that... instead of Celsius, Kilometers, Liters, Stone, or Hands,Centimeters etc, etc...

Fortunate that every one of today's kids has a smartphone that he can consult for conversion... heaven help us if the internet ever goes down...

I live 90 miles from Chicago, and today paid $3.55 Gallon... My sons live closer in to Greater Chicago, their price for Regular is $4.07...

Probably better gas... :)
