Litres or gallons?

It dropped from $5.50 a gallon to $4 a gallon.

It dropped from $5.50 a gallon to $4 a gallon.

I wish we could get it at that price

 

[dad_of_jon]

now at 171.9 for e10 and 182.9 for e5 by me. which is about 6% more than e5 but I get about 5% more mpg so about the same cost per mile but I can go further on a full tank and my cars engine adjusts for the better fuel to give more power.

It's down to $3.90 now.

In Donegal on the border with Northern Ireland it’s priced in euros with the sterling price as well. Most places giving a good exchange rate and today’s prices were £1.63 for diesel and £1.54 for petrol.

 

[Leon103]

Most places I saw on my journey home today had petrol between £160.9 - £162.9

175.9 now for e10 unleaded 0.2 miles away from me in Gowerton. Maybe the threat of a global recession will lead to a reduction in the price of a barrel of oil its the lowest its been for 5 months

This is what I don't get. If it's at its lowest for 5 months, how come it's more expensive at the pump than 5 months ago?

Because they claim it’s all about transport costs.
The amount of tax the government puts on fuel is the main problem.
Duty at 52.95p a litre Or 28%
Vat at 17%
Cut both of these and everything comes down in price. Pretend it’s a global problem and nothing can be done and make lots of money.

It dropped from $5.50 a gallon to $4 a gallon.

Don't forget that an American gallon is smaller than a UK one 128 fl oz vs 160. so the US one is 20% smaller (or the the Imperial is 25% bigger if you prefer).

E5 seems to have been slower coming down which is a shame as I prefer it. Like you I get better economy and a smother drive

I don't, but that's what we have here. And it's down to $3.80 now.
