It's alright, isn't a fiver still worth like $172371 USD?

Today £1 = $√2 ;) (I like mathematics).

Yeah, £1 is $1.41 today. So a fiver is about $7.05 off the top of my head.

I get about 200 - 250 miles out of half a tank, which costs between £25 and £32 at the moment (use the more expensive fuel as the shops around here like to sell water instead of petrol, especially Morrisons a certain petrol station I will not name. So, each week (I do 250 miles to and fro from uni weekly, bout 60 miles a day, and I am in Tuesday to Friday (and sometimes Monday), I am paying about £30 or about $42 :P

Quite a lot when my student loan is $12,740 a year, and I am on a four year course, and computing equipment for a computing science course is by no means cheap. Could be worse though :P
 
Ah, when I lived in N. Yorkshire it was topping out at like £1->$2.05, felt broke and worthless with my monopoly money USD! :p

That sounds pretty steep though, petrol prices have always comparatively sucked. I drive about 60mi a day to/from work, our tank range is about ~430mi and it's only ~$17-18 to fill it entirely up ;) (~10 gal, '15 Mazda3 2.0L)
 
Petrol is about £1.10/L atm, or about £1.21 for the high octane which I use. Stops the engine pinking as badly, and it definitely runs better, I get about 50 miles more out of half a tank. I have known it to be nearer £1.40/L somewhere before.

Diesel keeps going a few pence lower than petrol too, so since Diesel goes further anyway, it makes it a bit more pointless in having a petrol car as it has a smaller range, and the fuel costs more.

But ah well. Que sera sera.
