I'm with Gumball on this one - just Google for "failure" and see the top result.
In the US earlier this year they were whinging it had gone over $2 a gallon.
Yes, they're not the same, but:
US Gallon = 3.785 litres
UK Gallon = 4.545 litres
Not a huge difference. 800ml. Big wows.
At $2 a gallon that means they're paying roughly £1.09 at current exchange rates for almost 4 litres of fuel.
For our gallon of fuel (4.545 litres so a bit bigger) assuming £1.00 a litre, we're paying £4.55.
Rip-off Britain? Too bloody true.
