You thought gas was expensive in the US?
More at Daily Express: petrol sells at £9 a gallon
The price of petrol hit a new high yesterday with one garage owner charging an astonishing £9.10 a gallon.
The news was greeted with fury by motorists who are suffering increasing torment as the tanker drivers’ strike bites deep.
…………………..
That’s almost $20 a gallon, folks. Lots more at the link above.
Petrol Is cheaper here? That just means others are getting screwed worse.
Despite the increase, people in the United States still pay significantly less for gasoline than people in many other countries.
Petrol price in England twice what it is in US
People in the US are reportedly changing their holiday plans – after petrol reached the “ridiculous” price of up to 50p a litre. The national average for unleaded fuel is $3.53 a US gallon – which works out at just over 47p a litre. But the price in California, the most expensive state for ‘gas’ in the US, has reached 51p a litre with diesel even higher at 59p.
US motorists will get little sympathy from their British counterparts where petrol is well over £1 a litre and diesel around £1.20.
…………………….
100p per pound. You do the math.
