UK Fuel Prices

Filled up on the motorway the otherday on my wayback from manchester airport........

£1.46 a Litre

That equates to around $2.31 a liter for our US friends.

It cost me £80 to fill up (around 126 dollars)

I feel another wagon protest or road block brewing! Gone are the times when you can chuck a tenner in and make it last!

It was 84 euro cent in Tenerife - FFS

Indeed, but its far more expensive to live here on average

Its 9p a litre in Tripoli, if you can find it...and 47% of the price in the UK is made up of taxes. Yahoo did a quick cheap petrol list here fyi

What's the supermarket/suburban filling station price like in Embra* these days?

I'm paying around £1.38 per litre for diesel in the Cambridge area. When I was in Austria in the early summer it was the equivalent of £1.12, and petrol was the more expensive of the two.

By the way, £1.46 per litre translates as $10.60 per gallon.

I have a 26 gallon gas tank in my Chevy Truck. I pay around $4 per gallon for 91 octane. Since I don't allow my truck to get bone dry I spend around $100 every time I fill up. I budget my mileage so my fuel charge per month is reasonable. Los Angeles is a city of great convenience and everything I need is no more than 10 minutes away in moderate traffic.

What size is your engine, Dino? I have a 2 litre diesel estate (station wagon) which is thought of as a large car here in the UK. It returns 48+ mpg driven carefully, and as I live in a village, I don't encounter that much stop-start traffic except on the legendarily dreaded A14 into Cambridge.

I suspect that where things start to even out is that our engines in the UK tend to be that much smaller and more efficient, whereas in the US your vehicles and engines are huge so that your fuel consumption is that much higher.
