Like a month ago it was at 2.31. I'm mean honestly, there are more teens driving now and we dont have this kind of money?! Well some may. It went down to bout 1.96 in the past week but that is still alot compared to when it was 1.37...etc...

whats that 2.31 US dollers a litre?
No, it's $2.31 US a gallon. 1 US gallon is around 3.8 litres.
Perhaps you should move to the UK PunkRockinRomance where petrol costs considerably more.

I wouldnt complain about the gas prices. I rather just pay the cash and get along with my life and have less problems then bitch about the gas prices. Specialy in my car it wastes alot of gas. But, I'm not gunna bitch cause i rather have my car and pay for the gas.

The difference is that a lot of cities in the US don't have the same public transportation systems or even close proximity to civilization that most places in Europe have.

here in Victoria Canada, it's 1.03 a litre, thats $3.91 a gallon Canadian$$ so $3.19 USD

It's more to do with tax actually.

If Americans were to pay per gallon what the Europeans are paying the conversion would work something like this
For a 20 gallon tank.
What we (americans) pay:
$2.37/gallon = $47.40
What Europeans pay (for a twenty gallon tank):
5(ish) euros/litre = about $24/gallon
$24/gallon = about $480
So I say quit your bitchin. Unless of course you are willing to pay about $500.00 every time you fill up.

SportGuy says that where he lives, the cost of petrol is close to £3.50 a gallon. Or £2.96 for a US gallon.
As $1 US = £0.53 at present, that means that one US gallon of petrol where SportGuy lives (somewhere in the UK), costs roughly $5.58 US.
UK price: $5.58 US for 1 US gallon.
US price: $2.31 US for 1 US gallon.
UK price for 20 US gallons of petrol: $111.60 US
US price for 20 US gallons of petrol: $46.20 US
Just over double the cost, not ten times more. As the UK is one of the most expensive places to purchase petrol in Europe, your figure of $480 is simply not correct.

Yes it is ..........you dumb fuck. Europ uses litres......all your measurements are gallons. there are about 4 liters to the gallon. so take your number times four and you get.........$444.00 in us currency. $36.00 off of what I said.

You are right, it is in litres, but SportGuy gave a price in gallons, which would be UK gallons. So to get it back to US gallons, we divide by 4.5, then multiply by 3.8.
SportGuy also gave a price in pounds. There are 100 pence in every pound. Not very difficult to comprehend really.
The price of petrol in the UK, when given in litres, is usually 'pence per litre'.
Furthermore, I think a person such as SportGuy, who lives in the UK, would know how much petrol costs in the UK, don't you?
Mathematics clearly isn't your strongest subject, try avoiding it in future.

Gas costs about $2.97 here.
My car only holds 7 gallons, though. So, I don't really notice how expensive it is, because I'm only paying $17 or so whenever I get it filled.
Yay.
That's a rather small fuel tank...what type of car is it?

Above I posted a gas price conversion chart...thingy. I would like to clarify.
I was basing the numbers off of my personal experience in spain last month. I saw that for one litre of gas it cost 5 euros. If you take that into consideration then my math is roughly correct.
-aramil
ps the euro is worth more than the united states dollar. one euro is approximately equall to $1.25 united states currency. When doing my conversion I just approximated 5 euros to be about $6.25 so I rounded to 6 to make it easier. 6 times the number of litres per gallon = 24. So roughly 5 euros/litre = $24/gallon
pss. math is not my strongest subject.

They also tend to have higher income tax rates and higher taxes on petrol. Please be aware of that.

Im not gonna argue about all the UK/USA prices cause I dont care...I live in America (Vegas to be exact) and I think its too much (considering I drive all the time...love it)...
Over the weekend I drove to LA and put $25 in my tank before I left and got all the way there (I drove my lil honda civic so I got better mileage than my other cars would have)...but on the way back I put $25 in and had to stop to get gas...It was like 3.40 or something like that...
...I dont care how much it is in the UK, I dont like there...for America...thats pretty damn exspensive
