Actually about 3.80 pounds per gallon (our gallon is less than your imperial gallon).
I can't remember where I saw it, but recently I saw some data comparing the cost of gas in countries around the world, however, they showed the amount paid for the gasoline and the amount paid due to taxes. It appeared that considering the cost of gas alone, US citizens pay about the same as Europeans. It was the far heavier taxes that caused a much higher rate for Europeans. Really wish I could remember where I saw that.

Yet they insist on buying big engined motors which does about as much mileage per gallon as a M1 abrams battle tank. Yet your oil prices are over half than what it is here. |
