In the UK today the average price of petrol reached its highest level ever £1.22 a litre. Many garages charge more.

Which equates to $1.932 a litre

Which I think comes to $7.314 a gallon

Next month there is an increase of 1p a litre on fuel duty and an increase of VAT by 2%

OH and just to explain in the UK fuel duty is added to the basic price of fuel and then VAT is applied on top ----------------- we are taxed on the tax!!

Yeah it could suck pretty bad come new year.

It varies here between £1.20 a litre and £1.24 depending where you fill up. It isn't overly pleasant.

Yes MikeWint there are dark force abroad in the UK.

Meanwhile petrol/diesel just keeps going up. I run diesel and pay on average 5 or 6 pence a litre more than the petrol. Most countries in the world diesel is cheaper than petrol ---------- not in the UK.

Mike Wint and FlexiBull:

This is not the place to discuss college tuitions in the UK. This thread is about how
much gasoline/petrol is, in your particular neck of the woods.

What happens in the UK about college tuitions could get rather nasty, and we don't
need that here.

I have taken the liberty to edit both your posts...

Thanks...

The money grabbing g*ts at my local have again increased the pump price for the THIRD time this week....its now £1.29.9 per litre for deisel

The rate they're putting up the pump price, I fully expect it to top £1.35 per litre before X-mas and then theres the VAT increase end of the year to contend with as well.

I'm going to go and put 1 litre in the tank tonight and ask for my 0.01 pence change and when they dont give it to me, I'm gonna call the Feds !

Appalachian Foothills in Virginia

In my part of the Appalachian Mtns in Virginia they are showing the regular close to$2.67at the larger chains, but I'm amazed at the price of diesel fuel at almost $0.45 above regular gasoline.
Converting....I think that would be 1.99 Euros/Gallon on the Reg Gas and 2.47 Euros/Gallon on the Diesel. So my price is wildly fluctauting this year but no where near the cost of fuel in Europe. I didn't realize the difference was so large.
