If you can afford £90 for 19 litres you must be rich mate!
If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

I notice you're in the USA In the UK, $7 a gallon is very cheap We are paying on average, £6 per gallon ($9.67) for ordinary unleaded (about £1.33 a litre) God you're lucky When I first started driving, petrol was less than £1.10 a gallon (24p per litre) (no comments please about my age) Edited by ntm1275 on 20th Jul, 2011. |

When I moved here from UK in 2002 it was $1.55 a gallon for 87. Now it's $3.40. And it's still cheaper than what I was paying in England 10 years ago. |

no fuel is so cheap in america for one major reason - they are an oil producing country, the oil they source goes into the country and is used internally - when britain was an oil producing country it used to be the same way (hence why it was so cheap a while ago) when margret thatcher got into power she sold off ALL of the natural resources in this country (oil, gas etc) and now we have to buy it back in - hence why utility bills and petrol prices are forever climbing because other countries know this is a requirement for us and rip us off with it.

well here is a little one for you.... at the track they were building/ stipping an engine down, as TINNY drop of the nitro fuel must have dropped into a tread, the bolt was then put in with a gun, as it compressed it exploded, blowing the gun over the other side of the work are, it cracked the block and i think broke some bone in his hand. And all this from what was possibley a few drops! mad isn't it. Best 1/4 mile 13.2 seconds @116 mph
