Prices dropped about 10 cents over the weekend in Chicago Suburbia, and I saw it today for as low as $2.72 a gallon.

It's a different world!

Other comparisons out of Curiosity.

(Just checked & revised conversion rate - £1 = $2.04)

UK Prices:
Gasoline = $7.88 per US Gallon
Pack of 20 Smokes = $10.91
Regular Big Mac Meal = $7.94
Pint of Guinness = $5.71 (more in London or major City Centres)
Basic PS3 = $612
iPod touch (16Gb) = $548.76

In some states you can get smokes for under $4 a pack. If you have a freind mail you a few cartons you could set up your own black market business. They frown on mailing gasoline though.


Think I remember reading that it is that cheap in South and North Carolina, Kentucky and Virginia

Guinness is pretty close, cheaper than most US places. Smokes are ridiculous.

Odd that Guinness is more expensive than petrol.

Petrol comes from outta the ground in a war-zone, from halfway across the planet. Guiness comes from a factory in Ireland.

Milk is more expensive than petrol FFS. And that comes out of a cow from up the road.

Petrol in NZ is US$1.14c Sterling 56pee.

Diesel in NZ is US$0.87c Sterling 43pee.

Milk in NZ is US$1.35 (1 litre) Sterling 66pee.

20 B+H **** are US$8.08 Sterling 3.97.

Nice house in Auckland US$534K Sterling 262K
(4bed,acre or 2, seaview-maybe)

Average wage in NZ. You'd have to be a dumbf'uck to be on an average wage.

Looks like there's gonna be petrol riots and blockades again.
Hehe....I'm in a job that is deemed vital. The last petrol riot I was able to still fill up.
We are hugely pissed at the difference between UK and US prices. It is so large that if you buy enough items, it is cheaper to fly to the US and buy there.
