Quoting libralady: How many litres is that? Our diesel is now approx £1.30 litre and it would cost me about £60/£65 to fill my car, but I don't know how much really as I only ever put £50 worth in  |
What kind of car are you driving? Gas here is about $4 a gallon..

BMW 3 series and it does about 45 miles to the gallon - very confusing as we buy fuel in litres and use it in gallons which are not the same size gallons as USA!
But cost of fuel is becoming a world wide problem.

What? Where did you see this? The paparazzi are enough to drive the most balanced person to suicide or drink or drugs! See someone down and just kick thema bit more, to make they don't get up! Or if they are not down, how can we get them down??????

OMG, so there's no sanity in these measurements, is there! 
Somehow it really doesn't make sense that a car with a 3 liter engine would make 45 miles on a gallon of gas.  I think only Prius can do that!

I think 1 UK gallon is about 1.2 US gallons. How far you can go on a gallon of petrol depends on the driver and the road conditions.

It is a 2 litre engine, 3 series is just the style! I actually drive like a formula one driver and I still get 45 to the gallon! If I drove sedately like (dare I saw it) a woman should, then I would propably get more 50+

That explains why people from Northern Ireland use petrol stations here - petrol is 1.3 euro and diesel 1.4 per litre

How long have you been using the Euro in Northern Ireland, it is part of Great Britain. I thought it was just Eire that uses the Euro. But that works out a little bit cheaper with with an exchange rate of about €1.23 ish to £1.

German Toymaker Launches Barack Obama Doll
By David Gordon Smith
A German toymaker has paid the ultimate tribute to presidential hopeful Barack Obama by immortalizing him in the form of a collector's doll. But the maker of the mini-Obama admits that it was tricky to get the skin tone correct.
