$8 a gallon
Yes guys I libve in UK and we are almost at $8 a gallon.
I am looking to buy an automatic GT about 2007 or so.
Can someone please tell me what mpg figures I can expect in real life urban and on the freeway and do the engines respond well to LPG conversions
Thx
Paul

Mileage depends on how you drive, but about 20-25 highway and like 15 city, realistically, if you don't drive like a teenager at least. That's in mpg.
As far as an LPG conversion, not sure how they would respond, but LPG in one engine follows the same rules as any other engine.

Mainly cos I love the relaxation of an auto !!!
Most cars in UK are stick shifts and I like to be different.
Just enjoy not having to change gear I guess
Many thanks to everyone for their help
Am looking at dealerships now for a 2008 Premium GT - only problemis paying $1000 to ship to UK and then 22% of purchase price for taxes when I get it here !!!

I have never been able to understand how you folks manage to live in Europe. With all these ridiculous taxes they weigh you down with, it must take a Herculean effort just to survive. I could never live like that. It's bad enough here with the all the arbitrary taxes they keep creating, that never pay for what they are actually supposed to pay for. For example, we pay taxes (a lot) here in Cali for basic societal services. Now, since they have squandered these said taxes on stupid things they are going to start charging us if the police or ambulance have to respond to a call. An ambulance tax if you will. How crazy is that!?
