Mike,
your math is a little out for the US readers as the US gallon is 3.91
liters an Imperial gallon is 4.55 liters.
So your numbers for US comparison should be US$4.36/USgal for LRP and
US$5.66/USgal for 4star. Still scary numbers all the same, I used to be
amazed when I worked for the British Army here in Canada you would read
the ads in UK papers and all the prices would be the same as in Canadian
ads just with the pound symbol in front instead of a dollar sign.
