- OK, we haven't done one of these for a couple of weeks. Remind me - how many litres in a US gallon? 4.5? Cause if it is 4.5 then I am currently paying $US4.25 per gallon at the pump ("premium" unlead

- Actually, a US gallon is a little less than 4 litres. But I know what you are saying - when I was in London, petrol was selling for about 70p per litre. With our cheap dollar, that converts to more t

- Eric, I don't think it's so much the cost (althugh it DOES suck...) but the increase in so short a period of time. My Audi takes premium unleaded, and between 4/30 and 5/6 (last 2 fill-ups) premium i

- Actually, rounded off, a US gallon is 3.785 litres. I know, we and Mexico have very low petrol prices. Still, I live here, not in Oz, so I'm geared to my economy. Anyway we struck back. Just bought P

- I think we have all suffered through that. Three months ago I was paying less than 90c per litre - and now $AU1.05 Of course the worst thing is that I got my "practical" car on the road at the start

- Oh, I'm not complaining per se. I *know* gas costs a truck load (or is that lorry load?) in other countries. Gas, in my opinion, is one of those costs of enjoying our cars, and one I gladly pay (hey,

- The reason gas is relatively inexpensive in the US is because we own guns. If lawmakers raised the taxes on fuel as high as they are in Europe, they'd be shot.

- I would disagree with you there. I think the world would be a great place if it weren't for humans mucking it up. I assume you know most of the cost of fuel is taxes. -Rock http://www.rocky-frisco.co
