87 octane here is 3.11 per us gallon OR .82 cents per liter in usa

87 octane in canada 1.07 per liter.

mustang ga tank is 15.4 gallon USA or 58.519999999999996 Liter

So doing the math:

58.519999999999996 Liter gas tank on mustang x 1.o7/ liter = about 62-63 Can $

1.07 per lit x 3.8 lit(1 us gallon) = $4.066 per us gallon in canada = 62-63 per full tank

its 3.11 per us gallon = (.82 cents per liter in usa) x 15.4gallons = 47-48 per full tank

All of this is approximated 1 US gallon is approx 3.8 liter

$30 last time I filled up, it was 10 gallons, so it wasn't quite empty yet. I understand your question, but it would be better to convert gallons to liters and just ask what we pay for a gallon, then you do the conversion. I am sure there is a site that would do it for you out there somewhere like this one: http://www.saudia-online.com/conversion Table.htm#vol
1 gallon equals 4.55 liters or 1 liter equals .22 gallons.

So for calculation sake, say the tank is 13 gallons, that would be 59.15 liters. Right now gas is $3.15 a gallon where I live, that would be 3.14622 according to this site http://www.x-rates.com/calculator.html

1 gallon equals 4.55 liters or 1 liter equals .22 gallons. So take the price of your gas per liter and multiply it times .22 and then you will know what you would pay for a gallon of gas.

Hope this clears up this controversy

I live in the Central Valley in California, cheapest gas here is $3.19 a gallon. I filled up a few days ago and it was around $48. And I hear we're gonna be above $4.00 a gallon by summer.

thats what i thought! that's crazy! i wish i could fill up for under $50! i wouldn't be too suprised if it was costing me close to $100 per tank of 87 octane by the end of summer. last summer, we got up to almost $1.30/L, (around .70-.80 per L around this time of year) and oil was around $65-70 per barrel. it's already at $100 right now, and going to go up in the summer, so we'll see! not looking forward to it though!

I filled up my vert for $37/super @ Citgo. And thats $3.55 a gallon which is totally BS since they oil companies make profit hand over fist. There needs to be some regulation by big brother. OR hurry up with some cheaper alternative fuels.
