Has anyone in the world got more exspensive than that?

Why is that ? ... Do yous have crazy high refining standards ?

[Bill]

It's way cheaper to drive on the right side, I'm only paying $3 a gallon.

Wow that's insane.

Mind you, the UK gallon is larger than the US gallon...but still...

"The gallon is a measure of volume approximately equal to four liters. Historically it has had many different definitions, but there are three definitions in current use. In United States customary units there are the liquid (≈ 3.79 L) and the lesser used dry (≈ 4.4 L) gallons. There is also the imperial gallon (≈ 4.55 L) which is in unofficial use within the United Kingdom and Ireland and is in semi-official use within Canada.[1] The gallon, be it the imperial or US gallon, is sometimes found in other English-speaking countries."

It does not matter what we call it, it is going up again next week with a vat increase and a fuel tax increase so that will make it $10 a gallon.

Why don't you come over for a visit? Bring plenty of cash.

You should come over here instead

You wouldn't be the first to leave the UK because of inflated prices and outrageously high taxes.

Yeah Have a revolution and ditch the King. Thats how we ended up with cheaper gas.

Calling it something different might work too. How about Go Go juice? No one can charge alot for Go Go juice

[Bill]

Your liter has always been close to our gallon, just a sign of the times.

[Hector]

Not gonna happen...

Give up fossil fueled vehicles...and immediately switch to electric cars?

Mmm...not gonna happen until all the oil is gone.

The oil companies are the gods...and the public are the worshippers.

They are the big bad wolf...we are the lowly sheep...

...sad but true...
