In the US, prices have gone down in the last few weeks, I filled up on my way back from Toledo, Ohio for 2.48/ gallon US. I see it for 2.56/gal here in Allentown. However, it seems to be a political ploy IMHO. The evidence for that is in the prices themselves. Right now we are coming into a non-presidential election, senators, goveners and the like. Before the present drop (of mainly 87 octane), the price differance was 30 cents a gallon, say 2.90 for 87, 3.00 for 89 and 3.10 $US for 93 octane. Now just coincindently (NOT!) the price spread is more like 40 to 50 cents, 2.60 for 87 and still 3.00+ for 93 octane.
Why do I think that after the elections the prices will mysteriously go back up? Republican logic at work here. Funny thing is, not a word in the media about this price drop except in passing. Subtle are the ways of the right wing bottom feeding religious oppressors of the US.
Originally posted by lebowskikw72uk has it right. I think you transposed the numbers a bit lebowski. No biggie. 1 litre = 1.6 quarts / 3.8 litres per gallon.
it takes 4.54 liters to make a US gallon. Canada uses something called the Imperial gallon, which I believe is slightly larger than a US gallon.

current prices: £89.9-£91.9 for petrol, but about £93.9 for diesel in most places. normally there is a 2p price difference between petrol and diesel but a few days ago some places dropped their petrol prices leaving a gap of 4p. can anyone surmise why?
Originally posted by Frank BurnsUhhh, what you said. Sounds the same to me. An Imperial gallon is larger than a US gallon. The conversion I got off the net was:

1 U.S. gallon = 0.833 British Imperial gallon
