Petrol

So, next time you look at the price of gas at the pump and think you are getting ripped off (especially if you live in california), you should consider yourself lucky compared to people in the UK paying ~£1/ litre.

A gallon is 3.78 litres. So, at the current exchange rate around $2/ GBP, that equates to $7.56/ gallon!!!!! Now you will start to understand why we do not have a car (and why a Edinburgh bus pass at £37/month is a great deal)
