How much is gas per gallon in the UK? I just read they were 8 US dollars/gal?

Question

IS that really true??

Answer 1

Well a litre would probably add up to about $2.20, so it depends on how many liters there are to the gallon.

(just checked)

A gallon would defiently cost around the $8 mark...

Answer 3

In everyplace else in the world, gasoline is sold by the liter.

And that's nearly 4 liters to the gallon. 3.79 liters per gallon, specifically.

Today, $1 US = 0.506765 GBP

and 1 GBP = 1.97330 USD.

that would make 1 pence = .019 USD.

In GB, today:

Today's national averages

Petrol

110.5 p/litre

Diesel

120.8 p/litre

and there are one hundred pence to each pound.  Am I right so far?

So at 110.0 p/liter for gas, that would be 110.5 x $.0197 per liter = $2.17 US per liter.

$2.17 x 3.79 liters = $8.25 per us gallon.

And we complain about paying $3.50 per US gallon.

April 2008

UK average petrol and diesel prices continue to hit record highs, propelled not only by soaring oil prices but the impact on supply of European refinery maintenance problems. With oil prices touching $115 a barrel, a £5 petrol gallon looks increasingly to be on the cards.

Nationally, unleaded prices have risen by 1.3ppl to 108.1ppl in the past month. Diesel prices have risen by 3.1ppl to 117.4ppl. The price difference between unleaded and diesel has risen from 7.5ppl to 9.3ppl.

London recorded the highest price for unleaded at 108.7ppl followed by Northern Ireland, East Anglia and the South East at 108.5ppl. Yorkshire and Humberside recorded the lowest price for unleaded at 107.2ppl. Wales recorded the highest diesel price at 118.3ppl. The North West and Yorkshire and Humberside still have the cheapest diesel at 116.7ppl.

Supermarket prices for unleaded also rose over the month by 1.4ppl to 106.8ppl. The gap between supermarket prices and the UK average for unleaded has decreased to 1.3ppl.
