A quid a gallon I would be outraged!!!

Interesting that the US still measures petrol in gallons not litres. Imagine if UK petrol was still priced by the gallon.

(PS: notice from the fonts that it's a Shell garage?)

If it makes you feel better I pay ~$2.45 (premium in California). And a U.S. gallon is smaller. It works out at about 35p/litre I think.

The US gallon is a different quantity, even with this taken into account I worked out that our petrol would cost $5 per US gallon, based on prices one year ago

I was in the States cruising about last year.

The most I could squeeze into my large cruiser was about 20 quids worth. Superb
