I am frankly tired of hearing complaining Americans moaning about the price of gasoline. What do you pay? $3...maybe at most $4 dollars a gallon. How about $7.65 a gallon? Now that is expensive. That is what British motorists are to pay when petrol breaks through one pound a litre.
The start of the summer holiday season will see petrol break through
the £1 a litre barrier after oil prices surged to their highest level
in almost a year, petrol retailers warned tonight.As the
global cost of crude came within striking distance of last year's
record high of $78.65 amid fears of a disruptive US hurricane season,
the AA said motorists could see petrol prices rising steadily over the
next two or three weeks.Source: business.guardian.co.uk
There are $2.02 a pound and 3.7854 litres in a US gallon = $7.65. So the next time you Yanks moan, think about your cousins in the UK paying twice what you pay.
