Petrol costs sooooo much in Britain.

Also keep in mind that liters and Imperial gallons are not the same as U.S. gallons. BIG difference.

this is the current situation

average price London = 96.5p per litre x 0.038 (conversion to US gallons) = £3.667 converting into USD$ (at today's exchange rate of 1 GBP£ = 2.01406 USD$ ) =
$ 7.38555 ie $7.39 per US gallon

ps petrol / gas can cost over £1 per litre from certain forecourts, and 'super' (98 ron = 4 star) unleaded fuel as required by certain engines can cost over £1.10

You might want to recheck those numbers, I'm in Vancouver and gas is at $1.20 per liter ( translates to $5.40 per gallon)

today its £7.23 per US gallon assuming 95p per litre - basis according to google :1 US gallon = 3.7854118 litre x .95p = £3.59614121 (x 2.01094)

3.59614121 GBP = 7.23162245 USD

obviously yesterday was a little higher due to currency fluctuations
