( In the US, consumers have been near apoplectic as petrol (or gasoline) prices have hit the unheard of heights of $3 a gallon. That's the equivalent of roughly 40p a litre.

In the UK, we're now pretty much used to paying more than £1 a litre. That's the kind of level that would cause a revolution in the States. Here we just cough up and wince and console ourselves that at least it's still cheaper than bottled water.) Quote from msn money uk using this it works at about
