Best wishes from the land of the terminally taxed.

You have my sympathies from here in Canada, where we love to complain about the price of fuel (because it is higher than the USA, who buy most of our oil). I spent 3 years in the UK near Birmingham, and feel your pain.

We just hit $1.06 CDN per litre for mid-grade, $1.12 for premium. Convert at 2.4 to the GBP, so that is only .47 pence/litre. We have a ways to go.
