Derek,

It's $3.89 to $3.99 per gallon here in Anaheim and I just got back from San Antonio Texas where it was $3.33 per gallon. It's always cheaper outside sunny California.

I worked mine on 3.5 litres, ços I think the American gallon is smaller than the English gallon.
Tell the truth now Derek, the tall tires are for more top speed at Bonneville, are'nt they...... or are you hoping to outrun the cops?

Prices are set by demand, not oil companies. Do you know how much gasoline China is burning?
Remember gasoline at $1.50 a gallon in fall of 2008? Oversupply(weak demand) set that price.

Hello dave,
They havent used the imperial gallon at the pumps for a long time, they went to liters probably about 20 years ago, 4 liters currently is at an average in the London area is $8-60, here is where the money goes.

P-S, Hello Quick change, nice meeting you in San Diego, maybe next time we can have a couple pints.

Thanks Brian, this is why I listed both conversions. Oh, by the way, AUD$1.37/litre here where I live, or AUD$5.19/US gallon or AUD$6.21/UK gallon
Thats USD$1.34/litre, USD$5.09/US gallon and USD$6.09/UK gallon with the current exchange rate.
