    In pennies, yes - around £1.60 per litre.

    It varies across regions but it’s a pretty good indicator for 2026.

      Whoa, wait a minute…

      1 gal = 3.785 L 3.785 L/gal * 1.60 £/L = 6.06 £/gal £6.06 Exchange rate to USD = $8.10

      Damn, in the US we are freaking out about the average hitting $4 per gallon.

        Yeah in fairness (and I’m not defending anybodies practices here, about 50 pence of that is fuel taxation, along with 20% on top.

        The actual cost to the consumer of the fuel itself is probably “only” around 70p.

        It’s kinda fucked to be fair - I’m all for reducing our reliance on car transport but the interim step of EVs is getting hosed as well now.
