minus-squareMatt The Horwood@lemmy.horwood.cloudlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 day agoThat’s nothing, a gallon here would be $31. However in the bland UK, we use litres. Our price is about £1.90 a litre for diesel
minus-squareEarthwormjim91@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·16 hours agoWhat math are you using lmao. The Pound is not that much more than the Dollar (£1 is $1.35), and a liter is not that much smaller than a gallon (1 gallon is 3.79 liter). 1 US gallon in the UK would be £7.20 which is $9.73 To be the equivalent of $31 per gallon, it would need to be £6.05 per liter.
