Petrol prices

Post by Derek »

I have a friend who live in Sarasota Florida, at the moment I am paying petrol for £114.7 a ltr, my friend is paying $1.99 a gallon which is roughly £1.58 a galon which is about 35p a litr...................Guess who is getting ripped off. :-k :-k :-k
Are we there yet dad ..... 10 to the gallon but worth it.

Was in Sarasota / Orlando / Keys a few months back and yes fuel’s super cheap. We rented a V8 Mustang and drove 2000 miles in a week, even with the rubbish exchange rate and spirited driving was much cheap than driving in the UK. Our Government rips us off with tax.

It's not so much the duty on fuel that I dislike - it's VAT that really Bananarama! me off.
A tax upon a tax. :angryfire:

Just back from Iceland, around £150 a liter there. Crete a few months ago was dearer there than here also.

Don't forget that a US Gallon is actually less than an Imperial one (3.8l vs 4.5l) but it's still far cheaper over that side of the pond. Most of our cost is duty rather than the actual product.

I drove 5500 miles in 3 weeks in a Honda Accord around the West Coast of the States, North to South, Seattle to LA, West to East from LA as far as Idaho and it cost me just over £100 in fuel. The most I paid was $1.21 per gallon in Kingman, AZ and that was when the pound was strong against the dollar. It was 1997 though.... :D :D :D :D

PS My pal Todd in Preston, Idaho (yes the Napoleon Dynamite Preston) said there would be rioting if it went above $2 per gallon!!
