Petrol has fallen below £1 per liter for the first time in over a year! When we filled up last night it cost us about £3 less than it has been, and that will add up in a hurry. I hope fuel prices continue to drop. When we moved over here 3 years ago it cost around 88p per liter and the highest it got was around £1.16 (I think. It reaches a point where you stop looking at the price and just fill up).
Remember, all you Americans, that there are approximately 4 liters in a gallon and the current exchange rate is about $1.80 to £1. So we have been paying around $9 a gallon for our petrol for over a year.
Mom made the argument that we don't have the long distances to drive over here that you Yanks do, but we drove to Grimsby twice a week for the last three years, three times a week while I was at college, and it's a 54 mile round trip journey. Plus, when I was working it was a 34 mile round trip journey every day. It soon adds up. The price drop is such a relief!
Hooray!!!
