It was up to slightly over $2 per gallon last summer.
You should come over here. Petrol is currently around
98c a litre, so
it's something over $4AU a US gallon or just over $2US.
And it will get worse now that the AU$ just took a dive below US50c. Be
happy with it at that price. I would be.
My truck only gets 12.5 on the highway, @80mph :-) Its a regular cab,
long box 4x4, K3500 (1-ton). If I were drive a little slower it would
get about 14mpg. I really need to get something cheaper to drive to
work. I drive 90 miles per day, round trip!
Boggle! What are you driving? A cement truck?
Yeech. I thought the
79 Volvo 244DL was bad at around 21 mpg around town.
I have an 84 Ford Falcon (XE model, 4.1 litre 6 cyl) sitting idle in the
back yard at the moment, too expensive even to drive to work. Yes, it's
worse than the Volvo, though not an awful lot, around 18 or so to the
Imperial gallon around town.
