You think fuel's expensive here?

I just got back from 2 weeks in Crete - the local filling station near my hotel was selling unleaded 95 at 1.82 Euro!!! Made me actually glad my hire car was a death-trap 3 cylinder Chevrolet Matiz because it went forever on one tank of fuel......

 

what's the conversion to £?

 

£1 = 1.1524 euros right now , www.XE.com

 

ouch, i'll stick to not having a passport then

 

I think 1.82 euro is worth around £1.60 atm

 

Fuels not expensive tbh its the tax on it that is

 

If only it was that easy

 

Think it was quoted 60% of fuel prices are tax.

When the government dropped the vat back down they sneakily left the tax high on fuel

 

So at

 

Think I was paying about €1.50 in France a few weeks ago.

 

I was in Florida a few years ago

The sh*t hit the fan and people were angry when they had to start paying $2 per GALLON !

I was filling up this huge Chrysler people carrier for about £30

 

i know the u.s gallon is smaller but even so i wish we paid their prices
