A Gallon is 3.785411784 litres, so you pay less than $1.00 per litre? Here in the NL, petrol costs about 1.45 euros per liter! Diesel is a little cheaper, and Gas (LPG) is cheaper still don't know what it costs exactly.

I don't know what sort of 'gallon' you have, but in the UK (not just England) it is 4.5 litres per gallon!

I believe a US gallon is 3.79 l imperial gallon is 4.55l I'm trilingual on the measurements

Ummm, a liquid US gallon is 3.78 liters...
A dry US gallon is 4.40 liters....
A dry UK gallon is 4.54 liters....

We're talking liquid conversions here fellas.....

Heres a converter for measurements....
WWW Unit Converter

Heres a converter for currency...
XE.com - Universal Currency Converter

$3.00 per US gallon is $3.00 for 3.78 liters...

1 US DOLLAR = .68 Euro
1 US Dollar = .51 GBP
1 US Dollar = 1.14 AUS
1 US Dollar = 1.02 CAN
1 US Dollar = 1.30 NZD

So........

At $3.00 US per gallon, thats .79 cents per liter...

.79 US per liter =
.53 Euro per liter
.70 GBP per liter
.90 AUS per liter
.80 CAN per liter = 3.02 per gallon
1.02 NZD per liter
5.41 Rand per liter

1.38 AUS per liter = 1.21 USD x 3.78 = 4.57 USD per gallon
1.48 AUS = 1.30 USD = 4.91 USD per gallon

1.029 GBP per liter = 2.01 USD x 3.78 = 7.60 USD per gallon
1.035 GBP = 2.03 USD = 7.67 USD per gallon

How many ounzes in a quart and is there a difference between an American ounze and a imperial ounze

lesofprimus · 01-15-2008, 06:46 PM

32 fluid oz in a liquid quart, 33.3 in the UK....

Negative Creep · 01-15-2008, 08:29 PM

The other day I paid £1.07 a litre

of which 70% is tax

Henk · 01-15-2008, 08:33 PM

The funny thing guys is that in South Africa they make Petrol out of coal, gas and out of methanol, but we pay a sh*t load for Petrol here.

We import most of our Petrol, but the Petrol we produce we give to Zimbabwe and sell it to other African countries for next to nothing.

One thing the Apartheid Government did was give cheap petrol to the people at all times and keep reserves for that rainy day.

You guys in the US pay a very nice price for your petrol/gas, but how economic is your cars when it comes to fuel consumption?
