Hi Kat,

Its not quite as bad as that, a British Gallon is 20% larger than a US gallon 
(we have 20fl oz per pint - you have 16 - and even our fluid ounces are 
different 1 of yours is 4% bigger) by my reckoning the US equivalent is 
$7.62.

Also helps to explain why my 2.5tdi Skoda Superb manages 40mpg (compared to US 
quoted mpgs).

Must remember to pack some Jerry Cans, wonder what the luggage allowance is!

Cheers

Deri
