The cost of living has gone up dramatically in Uganda over the last couple of years. Particularly the cost of fuel and food (two of the most essential commodities). The cheapest gasoline is 2,690 Uganda shillings a gallon. Today I decided to calculate how much that would be a gallon as just a small measurement to see how the cost of living compares in the USA versus Uganda.
According to my calculations, there are 3.785 liters in a gallon (Google converter).
That means a gallon of gas in Uganda costs about 10,182 Uganda shillings.
The exchange rate from the last business day was: $1 US dollar equals 1,645 Uganda shillings.
If my calculations are correct, it means that gas is approximately $6.19 US dollars a gallon here. No wonder transportation, and any food item that has to be moved or imported costs so much!
