Hi,

Im looking at doing a fly drive to the states next year and was just looking at petrol/gas prices over there in the states... i knew you guys were cheaper than us for fuel but my finding are crazy!!... how much cheaper!!

I have found that the average price on the west cost is about $3.098 Per gallon, -- (UK terms £1.60 GBP for 5 litres, 0.32p per litre)

Where as here in the UK we / I pay just under £5.00 GBP per gallon which converts to $9.3722 USD per gallon!!

so here in the Uk its cost me normally just under £60.00 GBP to fill my car from near empty, thats converts to $112.467 USD for one tank of fuel.......... per week...

So if i filled up my car in the US.. it would cost $40.27 or £21.00 GBP...

As you can see here in the UK we are hit hard on the fuel price!! hence why people here are going diesel to get more MPG... where as you guys dont get the diesel for that reason... not much of a cost effect market i guess!!! and you guys get to run around a big gas guzzles 4 and 5 litre engines!!! where as here it would really sting ya on fuel!!!

Please post your comments!!
