Just came across the website by the US govt.

seems realistic, But not too sure if i would have based my choice of vehicle considering that the Evoque is the best 4x4 for the second year running in it's category...
I don't think our US friends realise that we pay the equivalent of £6.31 per imperial gallon or 10 US dollars. Hence why many of us hold gas miles (mpg here) so important
Also their gallons are smaller than ours..........

How many litres in a US gallon - is it approx. 4?
3.785 - found it via a website called Google
There are other search engines available!
And volumes can go up as well as down.
It's almost exactly double in the UK rather than USA.
About $7.80 to $3.50 per us gallon.
And it's all tax. the fuel works cheaper in the UK, which is crazy if you think about buying power. add $1.20 a liter tax in the UK compared to $0.10 in USA(depending on state.) and you can see how it adds up.
I travel home a lot to the UK and see the difference, so it's nice I can get away with using the train a lot.
In the UK we also have tax on the tax on fuel! IIRC we pay totally something like 150% tax now on fuel, more for diesel!
