- The initial statement that $25 is about 40UK pounds is not correct. $25 is actually about 15.625 UK puunds.

- At the currrent exchange rate, $25.00 US = £15.60. Today, $25.00 in the Missouri Ozarks, US, will fetch one about 17 US gallons of premium unleaded. Cheers, David F. Darby Http://www.mgb.bc.ca/mg

- Sorry, Dave, your math went the wrong way! $25 is presently about 15 pounds, 65 pence. Your petrol is still a lot more expensive than our gasoline, but then your government gets away with charging mu
