Title: Just got a shock
Post by: Mysteryman on 06 January 2011, 19:06:51
Just took the Mrs' car to put petrol in it. Won't take much, I thought, she's only been in three days this week. Maybe 15-17 quid. £25!!!!

So I did the maths.

£1.29 a litre X 4.546 = £5.86 a gallon!!!

I just didn't realise it was that expensive in the units I grew up with.
