Captain Bitchy to the rescue!
US gas prices are currently maxing out at $3.69 per gallon according to
this source. Now, UK petrol prices (petrol=gas) are about £1.05 per litre. Converted into US measurements, we pay $7.89 per gallon.
Understand why I hate all those submissions on Digg about "Gas Prices Rise From 'Extremely Cheap' to 'A Bit More But Still Very Cheap' - Onlookers Asplode"?
(OK, OK, I'm done with the whining about living in England. I'll resume my constant stream of random crap, unfunny humour, and generally being an old turd that just won't flush ASAP!
