I haven't filled up for a while, but must do it soon. My tank holds 53 litres or 14 US Gallons. 53 x 1.119 (which is what the signs say) = £59.31 (US$115.90), making a US gallon cost £4.23. At today's exchange rate, our petrol costs US$8.26 per gallon.

I like your brother :-D. It's so funny, people who say things like that are considered wackos, but it's all freaking true!

It's even worse with diesel.

My tank holds 13.2 UK/15.84 US gallons (60 litres) which at £1.199 per litre (£5.45/$10.68 per UK gallon or £4.54/$8.90 per US gallon) costs £71.95/$141.01 to fill. At 40miles per UK gallon consumption (for local driving) that's 13.62p or 26.7 cents per mile.

We're paying NZ$1.86 a litre. Filling from empty costs us $74.40 for a 40 litre tank. That converts to 10.57 US gallons, and would cost us US$57.42 for a tank of petrol, or NZ$5.43 a gallon.
