View Full Version : petrol prices
boxstarr 09-13-2005, 03:55 PM why are you yanks complaining about your fuel prices right now???
you get a gallon for less than we get a litre the last time i checked
you pay about 30p a litre (or so ive heard) for your 6.9 litre cars that no1 over here could afford to fill.
you dont need to complain until youve lived in rip off britain
damn tony blair and his freebies
if the money spent on his free holidays went into britain our economy would not be about to collapse
boxstarr 09-13-2005, 05:12 PM wow absolutely no replies...i must be right
you pay about 30p a litre (or so ive heard) for your 6.9 litre cars that no1 over here could afford to fill.

boxstarr 09-13-2005, 05:25 PM im not sure,but as an estimate i always make the dollar at 60% of the pound for convenience
Mr. Beelzebub 09-13-2005, 05:27 PM There are roughly 3 liters in a gallon. We pay about 3bucks in average for a gallon... So, it's about a buck a liter.
boxstarr 09-13-2005, 05:28 PM so roughly 60p a litre yeah
we pay about £2 at the moment...and we still only complain about it as pub banter
we do get ripped off with evertyhing though
Sweat 09-13-2005, 05:31 PM Damn I'm confused. How many dollars in a pound?
EXIGE 09-13-2005, 05:34 PM Damn I'm confused. How many dollars in a pound?
£1 - $1.6 or 1.7 Roughly.
Thats how i see it.
Lol999 09-13-2005, 05:34 PM Theres 4.5 litres to a gallon, and a pound is on average $1.60. So we're paying £1 a litre = £4.50 a gallon = $7.20 - ish a gallon. Utter wank and a ****ing disgrace.
Lol

tha gas went up at a rate of about 200%, That's is the main reason people are complaining; Specially if you analyze the inflation rate.
I am just not convinced that the refineries in Louisiana had such a drastic influence on prices.

boxstarr 09-13-2005, 05:37 PM well we get taxed at a ridiculous rate on fuel (i forget how much but its easy to find out at college) and yet if the environment was the issue aviation fuel would be taxed....which it isnt
we also have idiot lorry drivers blockade the refineries to drive the prices up even further
Lol999 09-13-2005, 05:43 PM They're panic buying like **** round here, even had to drive the wrong way round a roundabout to get out of the supermarket because of all the losers queing to panic buy. Nobs.

boxstarr 09-13-2005, 05:46 PM yeah i know its worse than last time
a goody 2 shoes girl was late to college 2day because her bus didnt arrive as it was stuckin a traffic queue waiting for petrol
