Petrol/Car Gas=79 pence per litre = $1.10
or $4.16 per US Gallon.

OUCH! and we are complaining about $1.75 for cheapest grade (87 octane) here in NE.
Makes me re-think a self-drive vacation in England but they do have great public transport which is fine if you pack light and can manage it all by yourself!
How about Ireland, another destination I am considering ... Do you happen to know what are petrol prices per gallon there?
