RobbedPut some diesel in the motor yesterday...
£1.10 per litre!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's now just over £5 a gallon.
For you American types...that's $8.24 a gallon.
I think I might buy a lear jet (do they do them on Eeeeb?) I'd bet the fuel would be cheaper.
That is all!

Jim, you don't want to know how much it is here. Well, it's less than two quid to fill our pickup at work.

Did you enjoy it at least? You got screwed, so I hope you at least got something out of it other than a little fuel.

I have the flu actually.
The tax we pay on fuel is a joke 2/3 the final price approx.
As for old Martina and using the train, that is ridiculously overpriced....the sooner the cost of public transport falls the better it will become.
I'd happily say goodbye to one of our cars!

Ps Martin, careful you don't get mugged tonight...here it's a poor area that needs all the money they can get to pay off the ridiculously high mortgages.

Whoa! That is true highway robbery. In my hood, regular gas is $2.69, premium is $2.99 and everyone's complaining.

I think gas prices are heading down ....At Costco
in Tempe I paid 2.47 for reg. gas
Is diesel higher than gasoline over there?
Last year when diesel was 5 bucks a gallon (in Texas) that stopped me from ever wanting any diesel anything.
Gas stinks bad enough these days....I remember as a kid with 97/98 octane leaded gas.....man that smelled great with golden spectro premix in my motocross bikes.

Diesel and regular unleaded are the same price here (£1.08 a litre).

I've just upped my geek status and am now tracking fuel economy on www.fuelly.com
My Xterra isn't exactly frugal but it's still 42% better than my big red GMC was.

I've just been to fill up our work pickup this morning and thought I'd work out the price of diesel here in Saudi.
For 1 US gallon, it's 25 cents or 6.6 cents per litre.
For 1 UK gallon, it's 18p or 4p per litre.
I'm thinking of running a pipeline back to the UK.

Zoiks I have to fill up next week as I'm picking my mother up from Hartlepool.
I'd say that round trip will cost me £60 at least!!!!
I wonder if she'd be up for a crossie!

Jim I feel your pain. Over here we are gearing up for a host of tax increase. I keep telling everybody, if its free, it will cost twice as much.
