Wow, that's great! Was that the standard rate or did you use a discount code to get it? I did some preliminary checking for our Jan. trip & I'm trying to remember if I checked Thrifty...

Asp8tis there was a window that said hot deals for the dates I selected. So I clicked that window and gave me a base rate of 96.00 plus fees and taxes.

I've got to try work this out, we pay by the litre and a quick google search says 1 US gallon = 3.7 litres approx.

So thats $0.72 per litre. We pay nearly a £1 a litre which is about $2 roughly.

Thats a big difference. Do you have to pay tax on top??

Dm

P.S Sorry about going off topic, I just wondered how much the difference was for fuel. Sorry

No - the tax is included at the price on the pump. We are just getting screwed slightly less for gas.
