Fuel prices

[bpsorrel]

RON95 in Russia is around 20 rubles a litre (40p ish). We have a choice of 92, 95 and 97. Most Japanese import cars (mine!) run on 92 which is about 18 rubles (36p)

Four days and counting...

In Dubai my folks pay about 80p a gallon.

Clearing out my pm box and I saw a reference to this thread... wasn't so long ago that we were paying 105p a liter and complaining that the price had gone over £1 a liter!

Two months ago I was complaining about paying $5.10 per gallon* of Shell Premium Unleaded, which is £0.8165 per litre







* That's US gallon - the only liquid measured in US gallons in The Bahamas is petrol - all stations are from the States, and no-one bothers to recalibrate them

i always found that abit weird, how a gallon measure can be 2 different things. I was suprised whn i found that out.
that must play hell with MPG figures when comparing reviews on US/UK cars.

I wonder where its all going to stop, the next threshold is going to be £1.50 litre, but if there are less cars on the road, thats one benefit I can live with

Not so long ago, there was a big song and dance about prices dropping.

I think within a week they were back where they were before again.

Load of cobblers.

Old Georgy Porgy threatened to consider a fuel price stabiliser but considering the massive amount of cash they get from fuel, how strange then that it's taking while...

Yep there is:

US and Imperial Gallon. Two different things: about 3.7 liters for the former and 4.something for the Imperial I think

 

[w124nut]

1 US Gallon = 3.79 Litres = 0.83 Imperial Gallons

1 Imperial Gallon = 4.546 Litres

1 Litre = 0.22 Imperial Gallons

I wasnt that far off

LOL, I had at least two friends in Nassau asking me if I can help them to get "English version" of such-and-such as they look it up and it's got fantastic MPG, way better than US cars! :bannana:
