madwi Posted November 18, 2008 Posted November 18, 2008 Just out of curiosity what kind of prices are you ladies/gentlemen paying over there? Quote
rtbiscuit Posted November 18, 2008 Posted November 18, 2008 depends where in the country you are! i'm on the east coast in ipswich. we pay roughly 92.9p for 95 ron 97.9 for 97 ron 99.9 for 98 ron thats pence per litre not sure how many litres to the gallon for a conversion. but its a lot more that the US pay. and 70% of that is tax Quote
Ebized Posted November 18, 2008 Posted November 18, 2008 Just paid 101.something for BP Ultimate in Epsom. I thought it was 98ron but noticed as I was filling up the pump label says 97 - clue me up please Quote
martinmac Posted November 18, 2008 Posted November 18, 2008 Out in the sticks. Between 96p and £1-08 per litre for super. Quote
madwi Posted November 18, 2008 Author Posted November 18, 2008 If my math is correct (dont bet on it ) thats about $5.63 a gallon (3.785L p/gallon). ouch, thats an expensive fill up. Id have to fill up when i used a 1/4 of a tank so i wouldnt feel bad lol. Quote
Stew Posted November 18, 2008 Posted November 18, 2008 Our gallons are 4.5 litres! We don't use US gallons. The price has come down from £1.30 something per litre.... and that's when it was $2 to £1! Quote
madwi Posted November 18, 2008 Author Posted November 18, 2008 ^ wow, id cry. P.s. told you id screw up that math Quote
Stew Posted November 18, 2008 Posted November 18, 2008 3.785 is a US gallon. 4.5 is a UK gallon. Nothing wrong with the maths, just the wrong side of the pond! Quote
madwi Posted November 18, 2008 Author Posted November 18, 2008 lol. I often wonder why I still live here...then i see your gas prices Quote
rtbiscuit Posted November 18, 2008 Posted November 18, 2008 he needed to work to a US gallon to see how much we pay compared to him. if he calculated it to a uk gallon it would be the wrong conversion Quote
madwi Posted November 18, 2008 Author Posted November 18, 2008 comes out to $6.70 per UK gallon...id need a second job lol im going to stop doing math now...I work third shift and its bed time lol. Quote
Stew Posted November 18, 2008 Posted November 18, 2008 True but it was as much to raise the point that the gallon conversion was different to a UK gallon to members on this side of the pond. A lot of people don't know there is a difference! As I said, nothing wrong with the maths! Quote
rtbiscuit Posted November 18, 2008 Posted November 18, 2008 how much per gallon is it in the US? Quote
madwi Posted November 18, 2008 Author Posted November 18, 2008 I just paid $2.09 per gallon (US) for BP premium Quote
Stew Posted November 18, 2008 Posted November 18, 2008 And US citizens complain about that....... :lol: Quote
madwi Posted November 18, 2008 Author Posted November 18, 2008 And US citizens complain about that....... :lol: Sadly yes. But it is a nice relief as we were paying just north of $4 a gallon not to long ago. Quote
rtbiscuit Posted November 18, 2008 Posted November 18, 2008 does that work out to about 45p per litre in the US half price fuel Quote
madwi Posted November 18, 2008 Author Posted November 18, 2008 im not gonna do anymore math but the gas gauge was almost on Empty and to fill it up it was a grand total of $33 and some change. Quote
rtbiscuit Posted November 18, 2008 Posted November 18, 2008 well i filled up from empty for £60 Quote
madwi Posted November 18, 2008 Author Posted November 18, 2008 yeah thats about 3x as much ($90) Quote
bronzee Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 Meanwhile at the completely opposite end of the pond...... our petrol has gone down 70 cents a litre in the last month. Makes a massive difference, we're down to about $1.57 a litre now, even with our dollar suffering against the US currency our petrol is purchased in. Quote
