Where are you buying gasoline (petrol) these days!!??? I drive a Dodge
Caravan and here in Florida it takes $40,00 worth of regular to fill up,
if I stop before the little gas pump lights up. -Tom

:-( I haven't seen fuel that cheap since I was a kid :-( the 50L tank on
: my

Ford Mondeo diesel costs $72, and diesel is around 13c a litre less than
unleaded...

Where do you buy your fuel? Last week, I paid the most I've ever paid
for gas @ $1.05/L (CDN). It's the only time I've paid over $1. My
Taurus holds 66 L.

Well it costs more than that for a litre here in Germany, at the moment my
local Aral has regular diesel at €1.149 ($1.45) a litre, Ultimate Diesel is
€1.229 ($1.55) and unleaded is €1.239 ($1.56) ISTR. Luckily I get around
5,3L/100 out of the Mondeo (~53mpg), which isn't bad for something of its
body size (family station wagon). It drops to the mid 40's when I'm doing
long motorway trips cruising over the 160km/h (100mph) mark.

And Germany is cheap next to England, my brother is currently paying around
$2 a litre for Petrol and a little more for Diesel.
