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)
Look after yourself mate

ing outrageous. cheers.

third...lol
