3.78 litres per US gallon.


Dont you tell me theres something smaller in the US than the

UK....normally


everything in the US is bigger ;op
Funny how amounts change but the same units are used.... crazy world



If its an imperial gallon then it may be what magnum claimed. either
way
the boys in euro pay a boatload more than we do.


Sounds about right.. We pay a boatload more in a lot of things but i

guess

its just the way it is. House prices can be the worst. You wouldnt

believe

some of the "crap" some people are buying that costs over £150K

($276,461).

The average house is around £200K ($368,619) and anything half decent

would

be £250K ($460,773) and over except in London where you would have

trouble

buying a small flat for that with no land at all... I wouldnt mind
emigrating to the US but i see that as a dream rather than a reality..



you are speaking to the wrong person looking for house price sympathy.
60 miles east of nyc and a 1500 sq ft house on a 1/4 acre goes for 369K
and if its new 10k per year in taxes. people rent their sheds to
illegals to pay the bills.


A quarter of an acre is what a lot of us could only dream about here.
If your 369K house was here in the UK i bet it would be a cool 500K, if
it was near london you could easily double that. ;o)

Some of them are living an illusion
Bounded by the darkness of their minds,
In their eyes it's nation against nation,
With racial pride, sad hearts they hide,
Thinking only of themselves,
They shun the light,
They think they're right
Living in the empty shells.
