Questions for Americans, specifically New Yorkers?

Gas station, petrol station, filling station, are all common. I am friends with a family that has owned two stations for years and they call the businesses "stores", maybe because they make more money off merchandise sales than the fuel sales.

I wish they would pump the gas here for you but it is pumped by the customers. I had to go get gas when my husband was in the hospital and worried I would not know how to use the pumps at the gas station, so I went inside to give them money to use the pump and the lady said, do you need help and I said yes. It was so nice of her.

The difference in language in the UK is one of the ones that are different from our country as in gasoline. I think it is the same, only different.

yes depending on what grade you buy... yes that's about right...

Currently at my local garage unleaded 95... which is the cheapest is £1.29 per litre... = 3.5 litres equal a US gallon and that equates to £4.90 ...Sterling... which is approx $6.60 USD...however a gallon in the UK is 4.5 litres.. so a Gallon of fuel for us using the same cheapest fuel would be £5.80 which is $7.92 USD which is exactly what you worked out....

Middle range fuel is 97... octane , and that is a few pennies more per litre...

Super unleaded is currently £143.9 per litre..... at my local garage, and diesel is £141.9 per litre... = £6.38 per gallon $8.71 USD


These are the lowest prices... garages and supermarket forecourts all set their own prices..so currently depending on where we go for our fuel we can be paying anything between £1.29 per litre... to £1.50 per litre.....

You pay $7.91 a gallon. I know people here who will drive 10 miles to save a dime on a gallon of gas. It always flabbergasts me. For 10 miles of driving there better be an eclair at the end.
