NumbersGirl Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 thankfully our country is tiny compared to yours! :)True... just my State is about the same size as England. I don't buy diesel (just regular mid-grade gasoline), but still, that price discrepancy seems extreme. Diesel over here is about $3.70 per gallon, and if I was doing the math right, based on David's post (of 140.9 pence per liter) it would be more like $8.70 over there. That's insane. I spend about $50 a week on gas... I think that's about £30. Not sure how much people on average pay per week over there, because I'm not sure what the "typical" daily commute is. *asks* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electric.Candy Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 My mom spends around 208 dollars (9000 PHP) a month for the gasoline. We have two diesel-fueled cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
