I just filled up with diesel here in the UK, at £1.85 per litre.
For you guys in the USA, that's about $10.50/gallon.

According to my converter program
1 US gallon = 3.785 liters
3.785 X £1.85 = £7.00
The current exchange rate for GBP/USD = 1.25
£7.00 = $5.60

Minor correction: that's £1 = ~$1.25, so £7.00 = $8.78

Nothing under $6 here for the cheapest ethanol stuff. I paid $6.19. The station across from my work was $6.89.
The neighbors SUV was stolen, driven to another location, hole punched in the gas tank to drain it, and left there.
Yep, that's where we are at. |

Lol. You produce it, we are forced to consume it. Right now I wish they would just allow anything to be imported and used. We are at mid 6's in general, and higher in some areas.
Dumping 2k into a air conditioning setup for my 57 year old car that gets 30mpg is looking better all the time. |
Yep. It makes no sense.
You need A/C in Oceanside?

Actually I'm in the Inland Empire now. Closer to Riverside. Once you get over the first strip of coastal mountains, the Temps really go up. We have been at 100 degrees +-5 all week. The bug isn't quite as fun to drive when you're melting.  |
