There's a traditional filling station similar to that near Cadwell Park.
Old guy comes along fills your tank charges you the going rate +50p for the privilege and walks off...

What's the price of a medical operation over there ? (it's free over here) 
As some day it may happen that a victim must be found,
I've got a little list-- I've got a little list
Of society offenders who might well be underground,
And who never would be missed-- who never would be missed!

I was under the impression (could be wrong) that US gallons were 8/5 a UK gallon

i worked it out to the litre so its the same for uk and america, the US gallon is only 3.78 litres to the gallon, and diesel is about $3 a US gallon,
so devide $3 by 3.78 to give the $ per litre, the devide the result by 1.5 to get the £ rate, i have seen unleaded as low as $2.38 a US gallon, but
normal seems to be around $2.55, my working out is within a penny or 2 either way but gives an idea how the uk gets ripped off

I think they have tax in the US too, IIRC.
