PS: Where the price, at least around here, has dropped about$0.15/gal in the last few weeks. Had to put some in the pickup tonight, and it was $3.46, down from I think $3.59 or so last time I looked.

Current price is 1.31GBP a litre. Which is between 8-9 USD a US gallon. To fill a standard car will cost 55-65 GBP, which is about 100USD.
