Sometimes Americans annoy me…
I have just read this blog posting about the ‘fuel crisis’ in the USA. Us poor Brits could only wish for the price of fuel to be that cheap!
We pay currently (on average) about 92pence per litre! that works out to £3.49 for a US gallon of fuel, that means with the current exchange rate we are paying $6.08 for a gallon of fuel!
All I can say is consider yourself lucky that you are ‘only’ paying a third of what we are for your fuel.
And they wonder why European and Japanese car manufacturers make ’small’ engined cars. It also explains why diesel is practically unheard of in the USA (around 5% of cars are diesel in the USA) where a high proportion of the cars on the European roads are in fact powered by derv (50% of European cars are diesel).
