Sorry, I know > that I should know. For the record, 1 pound is about 1.6 dollars at the moment. Today I paid about about £1.25 (around $2) per litre for petrol with 95RONs in. I think 95RONs is about 91 US Octanes. Or about US$90 to fill the tank of my tiny Peugeot Hatchback with a 1.1 litre engine. I laughed, but it wasn't funny. By my calculation thats about $7.50 per US Gallon, from one of the cheapest places in town. How does that compare? -- Douglas |

Lower octane is about $2.89 per US Gallon at Costco here in Phoenix, Arizona, California is about $3.17/gallon at Costco, Gas prices can vary a lot in different parts of the country. -- XS11E, Killing all posts from Google Groups The Usenet Improvement Project: http://twovoyagers.com/improve-usenet.org/ |

Interesting. 95RON is the lowest grade of road fuel available in this country. I think petrol in the city I live in is about as cheap as it gets. Prices don't vary all that much here though. You're never more than a couple of hundred miles from a refinery and competition means its sold pretty much at cost, with retailers making up by charging £1 or so for a mars bar etc. Is Arizona pretty? -- Douglas |
