I know this is not totally relevant - but it does underline the tax situation that you guys are in, in the UK - and it also shows about rip-off mark-ups.

Cheapest Florida fuel: Pahokee 31 pence per litre ($1.82 per US gallon assuming £1 = $1.50 and 3.85 litres to the Imp Gall)

Dearest Florida fuel: Miami International 71 pence per litre (same mathematics)

How can one place charge $1.82 and a close neighbour charge $4.09??

Gone West?

Surely the Amercians sell petrol in the US Gallon rather than the Imp Gallon. The US Gallon is smaller (only 16 fluid ounces I think as opposed to 20 for the imperial)

Your conversion factors are nearly there, though - one US gallon is 3.79 litres.

cheers!
foggy.

It can vary quite a lot from airport to airport but average price in Italy is 1,50 Euro a litre:( inclusive of VAT.

Hey, DB6, Keef is right - why so angry??!! (Or perhaps since English without swearing seems to be very difficult for you, I should say why the f**k are you so blo*dy angry about this statutory charge boll**ks?)

Not everyone SUFFERS it, even if they have to settle it initially at purchase.

When VAT Registered, there's a likelihood that you'll claim it back monthly or quarterly anyway.

You may not be VAT Registered, others are!

Revived this one for the one closed earlier.

Please just keep this one on track at least and no personal crap please.
