I've just done some sums and taking a typical high-ish UK current price for unleaded petrol (from our local Esso petrol station) of £1.20 per litre, per US gallon it would cost £4.54, which is $8.84 at the current exchange rate. A huge chunk of that is tax too, it's a big money spinner for our government. So Americans are getting a bargain in comparison to us Brits!

Okay, well you need to think about public transportation here, too... Many places here in the USA don't really have any form of that.

Of course, the average car in the USA will likely do less MPG than the average UK car...

If you're talking about diesel, then yeah...
