Driving down the M40 on Friday, I passed petrol stations selling regular unleaded at 97.9 pence per litre. That works out at $6.62 a gallon.What is he using? British math? There are less than 4 litres per gallon. That means that "petrol, my dear diddums" is less than $4/gallon.

3.66 Liters per gallon means a gallon costs 3.66 X 97.6 pence = 3.57 british pounds.

97.9 pence is not the same as 97.9 CENTS....
