The 'E' Type Forum

Had a very pleasant run through the Surrey hills in the E-type this weekend - the gloss of which was only somewhat removed by filling up on my return to The Smoke at One Pound Thirty a Litre... (ok, technically £1.299 per litre, BP Ultimate).

If it's not already too late, I think I might stock up for the winter....

That is cheap, mate.
Don't come hereover...

Ouch is right! Here in Virginia, I'm paying $2.26/gallon for 89 octane (mid-range), although my E runs fine with no pinking on 87 octane. If my calculations are correct, you are paying the equivalent of $5.98/gallon which is over 2.6 times what I'm paying. In the non-urban areas and in the central part of the US, I've recently seen prices under $2 for 87 octane. If you think that Simon's getting off easy, Carsten, how much are you paying now?

Same price here for 95 but in Euro...

Mark,

southern Germany about USD 5.70 / USgallon. There's a loooot of tax involved, so there. About EUR 1.37/liter.

Here in Italy prices are hovering around the 1.5 € x liter mark... most of which are taxes.

In 1973 I purchased my first gallon of petrol. It cost 46p. Today that 46p is worth £5.47 (give or take depending on the inflationary effect one wants to fudge. That's £1.20 per litre.

Around 1.60, because you need to buy "Super plus", or "Shell Vpower" to get the correct octane figure.

Here in Australia ATM, BP Ultimate is hovering around the $1.42 to $1.45 per ltr AU, the same goes for Shell V Power. The cheapest is E10 around the $1.10 range, Only a few mths ago we had the cheapest fuel in a long time, where Ultimate was less than a Dollar per Ltr and Diesel was $0.75 per Ltr.
I wish they would bring that price back and everyone will be all

OTOH, the price of gas in United Arab Emirates is $0.49 per liter or 0.40 pounds per liter. Shoot, you could even afford to drive a Series III there!

Moscow around €0.60 per litre at the moment.
