Excuse the pun, but you guys are getting hosed:eek: I think that it would be more appropriate to give out free condoms with the gas, rather than chocolates:D

Twice as much is a little more than a "bit more." But you are right, US made cars are junk. That's why Toyota is now the world's biggest auto manufacturer.

What is the price over there?

Do you have 12 fl oz pints like the yanks? We have 16 fl oz pints over here. A US gallon is only 3.8 litres, a UK gallon is about 4.5 litres

Yesterday it was about 95 cents a litre and edging down a little. The only thing that comes in pints any more is beer at some of the local pubs. But I have been told not to mix beer and gasoline.:D

Oh ... forgot to mention that Canada has been metric since the early 70s

That's a bummer .. put £ 49.14 in on the 17th .. when did it start ? Didn't offer me anything !!:mad:

Would have coasted down a few hills for a couple of days if I had known was coming up ... 'cept that it's an automatic ..:D

I believe it is less volotile and is ignited by pressure rather than by spark:rolleyes:

But seriously, if you don't mind the noisier motor, and as you live in a part of the world where it doesn't get cold it should work well. Diesel is very efficient, but it is less effecient when temps drop way below zero. I don't know if it is the same in England as it is here, but diesel prices, like the fuel itsel, tend to be less volatile.

LOL .. nowt special Aleks .. a 1.8 Toyota Avensis .. but was a little low .:o

Diesel cars are a lot more efficient for starting these days Eric and they don't make so much of that clickety, click noise anymore. You'll just have to remember, Panther, to break the habit of a lifetime and not put petrol in by mistake.. :D I once did this in a company Picasso driving back from Scotland .. was perfectly OK luckily .. just couldn't understand that pinking noise it made down the M6 .. :eek: Think probably better than t'other way around.

Gas (Petrol) prices in my area are just under $3 a US gallon ,California prices tend to be higher than other States because of higher fuel taxes, , works out to .38 UK pence a liter .........and no speed cameras either (the kids would just shoot them out) ;) ;)

Re: Free chocolates....
 
so they owe you a box then,if for every 5 pounds spent you get a free box and you spent 20 pounds you are owed one by my reckoning so use your full tank to go back next week for the other box
