cockney rebel you know perfectly well it is called petrol, gas is the third state of matter and it is clearly a liquid.
over here 1 us gallon = 3.785 L and 1 pound = 2 dollars (thank mr bush for the great economy ) we pay about 90p a litre so £3.41 a us gallon and that is $6.82 dollars a gallon though take into account that our petrol is octane 98 and i was surprised with the crappy quality US petrol has (don't bother with spark plugs just let it auto-ignite, or even better use a diesel engine maybe if it was any worse you call it high-cetane petrol )

Well, it's cheaper than what everyone else has been putting down.
It's about thirty to fourty cents more if it's near a major freeway or highway (such as I-74), but otherwise it's pretty cheap. Although we have had plenty of circumstances where it's been over three dollars per gallon. Plus they raise it when there's a billion tourists here for sporting events, such as the Indy 500, the Colts, the Pacers, and so on.
It's been in the 3.90$s and 3.80$s for the last few weeks. Today it was 3.95$ for 89 octane and 3.98$ for 87 octane. My Nissan Sentra that gets over 38mpg is saving me a lot of money. A few times it has been over 3$ but never stayed for more than a week or two.
