gas prices ? - Page 2

**Apophis** · 06-01-2004, 08:33 AM

What are the taxes on a liter of gasoline in England? Here it's close to $0.60/gallon. In Rhode Island prices range from about $2.15-$2.75 gallon.

you americans think you have it bad.... hmmmm bet all those oile wells in iraqq are keeping your prices from hitting about 4.30 English pounds roughly translated to 7-8 dollars per gallon....

Does England have any oil wells of it's own?

2.13 - 2.40

Yes we have North Sea Oil and our tax (lol check out this mofo) is 80% or maybe a little higher. Current petrol prices are .80p a litre and there's 4.5 litres to the gallon I think so that's around £3.60 a gallon or $6.80 converted to you.

Also like to add we are in the middle of another petrol protest, tax is expected to rise and many people don't like the idea so will probably sabotage links causing general chaos.

The prices doesnt bother me that much, 2.15 for my car and 2.50 for my bike.

And I commute 70 miles round trip everyday to school.

Here in Texas, we have gas prices from $1.00-$2.00. I think we are very fortunate. I drive my Dodge Stealth and my Ford Mustang, they give pretty good mileage. Good deal for me and most of Texas (who drive Japanese cars).

American gallon = 3.8L
Imperial(British) Gallon = 4.54L

A litre is always a litre. The difference between American and Imperial gallons is .74L

Man this confusing. Littlers to gallons, good god, why doesnt AMerica switch to the damn Metric sytstem!

Geez here in My part of maryland, I've seen $2.53 down to $2.39 /gallon.

Anyone got a horse and buggy for sale? I have pretty good shoes though as well. and the DC metro aside from it's problems is pretty reliable.

**leejo** · 06-01-2004, 02:12 PM

Damn I feel better now. I had to cough up $1.89/gal yesterday and about had a stroke.

Chicagoland 2.20ish -2.60ish

Good heavens, do you live downtown or something? I'm right next to O'Hare and it's only $2.09-$2.16 here. And $2.16 is Shell!

Greg & I are liking our new house. We can now walk to 3 different grocery stores, 2 drug stores, a bakery, a butcher shop, a liquor store, 3 restaurants, 2 parks, a 2nd-run movie theater, a sundae shop, and the Metra stop to go to downtown Chicago. Within literally 4 blocks. Take THAT, new-construction-suburbia! Of course, we hear hourly commuter trains, daily freight trains, and airplanes every five minutes, but still...
