Gas Prices

[Metric1]

I have a 2005 Honda Accord V6 (3.0L) and the gas tank holds 17.1 gallons (64.7 litres) of regular unleaded gasoline.

I filled up today and the car was almost empty (took 17 gallons to fill) and it cost me $33.50 (approx 21.50 pounds).

My car gets about 28 - 30 mpg on the highway and I've been getting about 480 miles before I have to re-fuel.

I don't know if thats good or bad, in the UK but I'm happy with the current gas prices!

Unleaded petrol's at about 89.9p a litre and about 105.9 for diesel, which i'm happy about :) it was only a few months ago when it was like 108.9 for petrol.
How much do you pay a litre over there on average? i can't be bothered to do the math

My history teacher said last year that gas prices are more expensive in the uk becuase you guys drive smaller cars and dont fill up the tank as much as us wastefull americans.

Lol, you why did you even bother asking if £21.50p was good in Britain for petrol, of course it is lol. Especially for the amount you got in! In the UK, that would of been around £40 - £50 or so.

Loads of brits have big cars. We just get heavily taxed :P

my car is only a 3 liter?

We pay so much because we have VAT, then theres a fuel tax with VAT on that.

So its Tax on a Tax on a Tax.

Wow.. The UK are so expensive!!

In Australia we just got back down to 103.9 cents a litre, which is about 0.44GBP ?

Haha, you should come to the uk, anything over 2 litres is pretty big. For someone relatively young to have a 3 litre car over here is like wthz

We visit the USA quite a lot and always comment on how cheap the gas is. Wish it was those prices over here. We have friends in North Carolina who we have visited / met a few times. It was only a few weeks ago that they were running out of gas in his state!

It costs us about £60 to fill up our BMW and this is done every fornight. The teen and future generations will just not be able to afford running a car in a few years.

I like the way you said its ONLY a 3 liter there.

Its a complete rip what we have to pay, and we even drive smaller cars than America, if anyone should have higher prices its them as they waste a load more of it compared to us.
