More like $5.10 US ( $1.20/litre Aus) in Sydney at the moment. Its a bit
cheap right now. Just got a new run out NF Sonata diesel, diesel is a bit
dearer but excellent economy.

Yes, John beat me to it. Gas in Sydney is around $US5.04 a gal. John
might have used the Aust figure for converting litres to gallons . Its is
near enough to 4 l/gal whereas here and in the rest of the world there are
4.54litres/gal

Neville
Queensland
Australia

 

Forgot about that, I did use the 4.54 ! We are a little bit more expensive
for fuel than Neville in Queensland because a politician brought in a 3 cent
levy for 3 years in NSW to raise some cash. Needless to say that was 20
years ago and tax is still there.Just read the Sunday paper where it is
mentioned "Autobild" (German auto organisation) put Hyundai first ,ahead of
Audi, BMW and Toyota for quality!.

The math is all wrong or your information is all wrong. There are 4.5
litres in a gallon. The calculations for Toronto show a gallon as 3.7 and
that is way off.

 

For all the people that are confused about translations:

1 Imperial Gallon (Britain) = 4.546 liters
1 Real Gallon (USA) = 3.785 liters

For the rest of the civilized countries:

1 liter = 1 litre = 1 litro; pick your preferred spelling.

 

No, it's not. 1 C$ = 0.97 US$ right now, 1 US liquid gallon is 3.8 L and
gas in Toronto currently goes for almost 1 C$/L. That means that the stated
US$ 3.7/gallon is right on the spot.

Gas is not $3.70 a gallon in Canada as Canada does not use a US gallon.
There are 4.5 L in a gallon in Canada. This report uses something called a
US gallon but that is not in use in Canada.

 

The original post listed pries for different countries
in US DOLLARS per US LIQUID GALLON.

 

Oh ok. Now I understand. I thought they were just using the US dollar
because it's a widely circulated and easy to calculate currency. Makes
sense about the gallon too. The US is the only country I know of to sell by
a gallon.
