I had to get a few things from the nearest town, and I took my camera with me. This is the price on display in the petrol station there. I guess I got a bargain yesterday!

Painful Petrol Prices
I filled my car yesterday. The tank was almost completely empty, and I filled it to the top. It took 45.3 litres (12 US Gallons/10 UK Gallons) and at price of £1.079 per litre, it cost me £48.94 (US$97.04). That's equivalent to $8.09 per US Gallon or £4.89 per UK Gallon.
A full tank will take me approximately 350 miles, so my cost per mile (fuel only) is now about 14p (or about 28 US Cents). That doesn't take into account other running costs such as insurance, road tax, parking charges and maintenance.
It's scary, and it hurts. Ouch!
