You think *you* pay "staggeringly high" gas prices?!
If you believe gaspricewatch.com, the average US pump price is $2.91 per gallon.
Here in deepest, darkest Buckinghamshire, England, 25 miles from central London, the rough average price at the pumps is £0.90 per litre, based solely on observation of the prices posted around local stations.
At 3.79 litres to the US gallon, that's £3.41 per gallon and at the current spot rate from CNN of $1.82 to the UK pound sterling, we can estimate the current average UK pump price to be $6.21 per gallon.
That's more than double what you're paying now.
