You paid too much. Should have checked the value menu.

Paid too much?

I just paid 1.16 a litre! that works out to about 4.40 a gallon!
I LOVE hauling up to the pump in the GMC Sad (that was sarcasm)

I remember when they changed from charging by the gallon to charging by the litre. the price only changed a few cents lower. I think it went from around 89 cents a gallon to like 75 cents a litre everybody thought it was great, nobody seemed to notice that it suddenly cost almost 3 times as much to fill the car.

Once you replace everything that is attached to something else. It will all be fixed.

G'day,

Sorry, Mate we Aussie's win!

Petrol is $1.49 per litre here which comes to

$1.49 x 3.785 (litres per gallon) = $5.69 per gallon

$5.69 X 1.05 (exchange rate) = $5.92 per gallon

However, if a GMC owner from the UK decides to respond to this email we Aussies will get trumped!

Petrol there is 1.35 £ per litre.

1.35£ X 1.63 (exchange rate) = $2.20 per litre

$2.20 x 3.785 = $8.32 per gallon

To fill up a GMC over there would cost $416.00!!!!!!

Regards,
Rob M.

Gas in Jackson, MS yesterday at Raceway for $2.85. Gas consistently at or within a nickel of $3.00 per gallon in Vicksburg. Do not drive here to save the money.
