You are SOOOO lucky! Pump price for diesel in the UK right now: GBP£1.40/L = US$2.28/L. Just completed a round trip to see my ailing mother 400 km away. My car gets 7.8 L/100 km, so total trip fuel cost for the 800 km = circa. US$142. Still, nothing like high fuel prices to reduce fuel consumption - UK petroleum industry reporting year on year sales 14% down, so not all bad.
