    This may prove interesting to the price of gasoline.

    BTW it went down from 283.9 to 279.9 and at Costco still was 265.9 Saturday. One station sells the even digits, currently at 270.0

    Weird math does not help the high prices :rolleyes:

    OMG thats more expensive than here in the north west .... locally mine is equivalent to $6.75 a gal

    major problem with the UK and petrol is that our Gov fleece the living daylights out of the motorist with near 75% duty/tax otherwise our petrol would be near US prices.

    This is true. But you don't have to shovel out the garage. :D

    It can't be any worse than having to change the oil and easier to shoe the horse rather than do a brake job :D

    Made slight calculation error on my last post,I had £4.80 in my mind for some reason right £0.80 per litre x 5 per gallon £4.00 x 1.9 conversion $7.60 per gallon price taken from my local ASDA"One of our national supermarkets that wallmart bought for fun".I know something went wrong because I live in the NW "Wigan",but there are garages that are selling gas for £5.00 a gallon in the UK small family garages tryin to compete with supermarkets,some actualy are losing money on the gas just to get customers into the store.

    Not only that but with no government regulators insurance companies are Cleaning house,my Bro's girlfriend just bought her first car for £900 a 1.1 litre engine "dont know what that is in CI,about as big as an american lawnmower engine".The insurance for her as a 20 year old first time driver for one year is £1200! more expensive than the car,driving is fast becoming a luxury for some.

    Yes Rikky the insurance industry has you by the short and curlies if you want to own a car and for young and new drivers its amazing the cost of insurance on the lowest of the low engine sizes, to gain any cheeper insurance you have to be as old as Michael Winner ;)
