Per US Gallon basically $1.62 per litre, and at an exchange rate of
about £1 = £1.69 and 4 litres to a US gallon. Looking at it per
imperial gallon.......... well you just want to cry.

GBP 1.00/liter sounds pretty brutal -- my sympathies. I can see why
something like a USD 40K diesel conversion might be tempting, though
even then, it would take a while to make up the extra cost. In
Canada, we're paying half that, and I know that it can get even lower
at some US airports, so the cost of a diesel conversion is much harder
to justify.


All the best,
