Question OK, How much do you pay for fuel??

Thanks to KirkF for the following conversions:

1 gallon imperial = 1.20095 gallon US

1 gallon imperial = 4.546092 liters
1 gallon us = 3.785412 liters


Down here in Australia we pay around $135AU per litre.

So,

$6.13AU ($4.67US, 2.47GBP $5.23CAD 3.63EUR) per Imperial gallon

$5.11AU ($3.90US, 2.01GBP $4.36CAD 3.03EUR) per US gallon



What do you blokes pay for it where ever you are???


Price is for 'garden variety' unleaded.

Wow!
964Patrick, We are paying 0.80EUR per litre.
and
Megatron, it costs us 0.55p per litre.

And you should hear the motoring public "bleed" about the "High" cost of out petrol.

Gas/Diesel prices have become rediculous. Some folks here started filling up their old diesels with sunfloweroil straight from the supermarket, beccause it's cheaper than diesel now! Government doesn't like that though, because fuel is taxed to death and whining about missed income. Oh well.

Maybe I should do my refueling in Australia

Here in the Middle East fuel is a whopping 80 dirhams a litre which converts to US 82 cents a gallon.....for 98 octane!!

Sadly I drive a Jeep Cherokee here and the 964 is in Australia, at prices which have already been discussed.

Hi psychoideas,

98 octane here in Sale - about 210 ks from you is $1.51 per Litre. Just got back from a 96 k blast around the local roads, to clear the mind, worth every cent!

(is that picture a "barn find" 964?)

Regards,

Michael Gibney

Hi Michael,

That picture is the result of having a restoration project on the go, and then having to sell your house that has lots of great sheds, and then moving into another house that has a 6 X 4 Kmart shed in the back yard, and then having to store you pride and joy at friends place in amongst all their stuff.

But hey, I’m still the only bloke in my small town with a Porsche! So life’s still really good, don’t we all agree??

Cheers,

Frank
