Just put 20 quid of diesel in the car.... barely crested the quarter tank mark...
One pound thirty nine a litre... that's six pounds and twenty five of her majesty's finest pence for one English gallon... or precisely ten dollars for you folks across the pond...
Think it's time to become an oil baron.

Yeowch, 58.95p per litre in taxes. Plus an extra 20% on top of that for VAT.
I guess I should be glad our taxes over here are only about 50 cents per gallon.

1.50€ per litre.
It's forbiddingly expensive to top your gas tank here.
Besides, all of the major oil companies here fix their prices.

1 euro 36 c per liter - and that's diesel.
I don't exactly know what regular petrol costs in this country, but I believe it's passed the 1,70 mark - per liter...

Usually diesel is more expensive Bran.
However, £1.40 ish seems the regular here now.
Doing 200-250 miles a day at work really pushes prices up.

Odd, its not something ive really looked into before i guess.
Saying that though, Britain seems to be one of the most heavily taxed places.

Here in the States it tends to fluctuate, sometimes Diesel is more expensive, sometimes it's cheaper. I assume that this is because Diesel has a more static demand than unleaded and is less likely to fluctuate.
Although it could be a conspiracy by the oil companies, I'm open to other interpretations.
