> [@KaiserSouze](#): > > Correct me if I’m wrong but if Londoners pay around £1 a litre for Super Unleaded, thats around $7 a gallon? Pretty much, $3 a gallon sounds amazing low 😉 Our petrol is £0.92L so 3.78L to a gallon = 3.78x0.92 = £3.4776 per gallon Rough £ to $ = 1.7 so £3.48 x 1.7 =[COLOR=Red]\*\* $5.91 per gallon. \*\*[/COLOR] Good job we have smaller enginged cars. I wouldn’t fancy topping up a 5.4L F series in the UK. My 1.4l Jazz would run for a a few years on $50 of petrol 😉 ---

I was watching a program set in England and they were driving a Jeep Cherokee I believe; I didn’t know you had them over there ---

> [@secretinish](#): > > Haven’t SUVs become popular in the UK? I was watching a program set in England and they were driving a Jeep Cherokee I believe; I didn’t know you had them over there Ah yeah things are getting bigger, but generally most cars are under 2.0l i’d presume. A few of the bigger SUVs are running 3L+ SUVs are now know for the car to take your kids to school in… you need a big SUV as a family of 4 “just won’t fit” in a saloon or 5 seater hatchback anymore. I’m not a fan of SUVs, the ones i’ve drove sap the fun out of driving. The UKs roads aren’t the widest, so they’re not best suited either ---

The UKs roads aren’t the widest, so they’re not best suited either I just spoke with my friend; She said you can rent SUV’s in Ireland but she wouldn’t because of the expense and the roads ( I am going with her in June can’t wait) ---

> [@KaiserSouze](#): > > Not really because we pay about $3 per gallon in fuel duty, then a further 17.5% tax on top of that True but… unless I’m mistaken in the UK you guys don’t pay living taxes, and county taxes and all that, like we do in the US… so it’s almost like a balance for it :lol: ---

> [@simplistik](#): > > True but… unless I’m mistaken in the UK you guys don’t pay living taxes, and county taxes and all that, like we do in the US… so it’s almost like a balance for it :lol: We pay this tax ☹ Income tax on Earnings National insurance on Earning 17.5% VAT on anything we buy Mega stupid tax on petrol, cigarettes and boose. Council tax to keep our bins empty…probably a lot of other things to. (This is probably similar to your county tax) Road tax if you own a car/bike Congestion Charge tax if you want to drive in London (although this isn;t officially a tax, but foreign embassys like to think it is 😉 ) Thats all I can think of now. Which is pretty ridiculous really Probably if you calculated it over 50% of our earnings (maybe more) goes straight to the tax man. I think our tax pays for a few more things though, such as healthcare, universities (well it use to) and stuff, so in the end it probably is pretty even. ---

$2.79 here in Spokane, WA, USA. Makes me enjoy riding my motorcycle to work even more. 70 mpg feels really good right now. [Previous page](https://forum.kirupa.com/t/2-95-for-a-gallon-of-regular/186239.md?page=1) [Next page](https://forum.kirupa.com/t/2-95-for-a-gallon-of-regular/186239.md?page=3)
