If one litre = 0.2641728 US gallons, and you use a currency calculator like this one: http://www.xe.com/ucc/
to get 1.00 GBP = 1.80960 USD
then
figure out some algebraic thingy to find out the difference to make litres into gallons and multiply that by the value of the pound into US ounces and ... man, I suck at math.

This is the formula I've been using, you just pop in the current UK price and exchange rate:
(.959*1.81)/.26 = equiv dollars per gallon (in this instance, $6.68)
The 1.81 is the dollars per pound today and the .959 the petrol price per liter, in pounds. I saw this price today near Camden but last week the paper said it was ranging from 90p to £1.29 across the country.

In Canada, it works out to roughly $3.38 US for one of your 3.785L gallons.

Yikes, I got the math wrong, so here's the real numbers! Sign #367 that it's been a long day.

That's 'cause we keep the stuff from the micro-breweries to ourselves, and only advertise the crap like Bud and Coors.oscartherabbit wrote:As far as I can tell, you don't get any real beer at all.jsluder wrote:I thought we couldn't get the real Guinness over here...

I'd like to know this myself. I have heard that it was tried in the 70's butflanum wrote:why dont yanks use Metric system in a lot of things yet?
largely abandoned for some reason. I also understand that folks had a hard
time figuring out what they were paying for gas (petrol), and rumors flew
that gas stations were taking advantage of the confusion and overcharging
for a liter of gas.
