Edumacation time!

By my calculations, theres 0.833 UK gallons to US gallons, so I guess
you're paying $3.84 for a uk gallon, which XE.net says is £2.20 per
gallon..

Now, our pumps are in litres.. Theres 4.546 litres to our gallon,
meaning you're paying £0.48 per litre.

There's a petrol strike/protest starting tomorrow because the pumps
have reached £0.93 (last I saw anyway. Saw online the 97RON stuff has
hit £1.01 now?!).

Numbers might be a little out, but I blame google if they are :)
