I remember the days when we complained about the price on super going from 69.9p to 70.9p I know fill up regularly over twice the price.

When I started driving petrol was 38p a litre ! I'm only 39 years old .

over £6 ($9.37) per gallon now although our gallons and your gallons are not the same.

US gallon is 3.7 litres, and ours are 4.5 so makes it a bit more bearable when we hear what your gallons cost

LOL, typical Daily Mail:

"Article finished sir"
"It needs pictures - stick some stock photo of a petrol pump in there"
"Sir...s..."
"Yes? What is it?!"
"...The Guardian have a photo of a petrol pump in their article, sir"
"Ah, crap... well... find a photo of a babe near a pump then gumpo. Our readers love babes, anyway."



Seriously though, petrol is now at the point that it's making other parts look cheap. The other week I got two new wheels for less than a tank.

Even accounting for the fact that a us gallon is only 3.7 litres we are still paying two and a half times as much for it.

When I started driving in 1975 it was 25p a gallon and fags were 25p a pack of twenty. In our area today its 1.43 litre for diesel and1.36 for petrol. Pack of twenty fags still about the same as a gallon of fuel.
