Never really bothered to do the conversions but now I've just realised how cheap gasoline was in the US. The cheapest I remember seeing pump prices in the uk was in late 90s where it was £0.65/L, which would make it around £2.46/gallon and therefore $4.15/gallon given the apparent exchange rate at the time.

    In the late 90s (or maybe 2000) in the US Midwest, I remember paying $0.79 a gallon, or $0.21/L. With the exchange rate then, it works out to £0.13/L. So yeah, it was cheap. I filled my 15 gallon tank for the cost of 2 hours at my just above minimum wage job.
