Well in the US its about 2.50 a gallon which works out at $.63 a litre but they dont pay as much tax as we do and some places it rose upto about 3.96 which is $1 a litre lucky for them its coming down - prob coz they gettin fuel from Europe  :huh:

errr ok maybe my plan backfired.

Pulled up to a pump, £1.40 later pump runs dry. Wicked. Just enough fuel to get back to stafford methinks.
