US Petrol prices and car hire!!
Discussion
Can anyone explain me this- is this as good as I think it is?? Currently it appears that the US average is $2.46 per gallon which is about £1.65 per gallon. Is this correct?
So for instance, if I was to hire a 3.6L Jeep grand cherokee quoting 25 MPG (US) I could cover roughly 50 miles for £3.30?
Or am I way off!!

Excellent! You really can't beat US 'gas' prices can you!!
Their prices are far more volatile than ours and its amplified by being sold in 4x bigger sploshes, takes a while to realize its not always worth chasing down that last cent of price difference when a top up may only make 20c of difference and it can shift 10c over night. You do have to be careful though as unlike here when they put the price up and down when they can make the most money, they tend to do it more in the US based on the price of gas they have in their tanks, This can give a large variation between nearby gas stations some times.I downloaded the yell app for my android phone while i was there which gives current gas prices, came in handy when deciding to top up in one state/town or go onto the next when there were big fluctuations between states.
Whatever group they say a Mustang is, there is a 99% chance of getting a Mustang or Camaro if you book a standard convertible.
I've driven the 2014 and 2015 Mustangs, and the 2014 Camaro, and I'd personally rate the 2015 Mustang as the best all-rounder, the Camaro is the best handler, and the 2014 Mustang as the best skip.
Before you get too excited, I got around 17 mpg (US) from a 2015 Mustang in LA traffic and, at Californian gas prices, that meant it was $30, or about what I'd have expected from a 2.0 tdi in this country.

Did a ridiculous number of miles in an suv over a month and only spent about £250 in gas
Don't forget you only get 4L in a US gallon though
