How about $5.79....per gallon!
When I first read this article I thought they goofed, but there it is, $5.79 per gallon for gas in England. In reading the article, I was amazed to see that the government has a $3.30 per gallon (PER GALLON!) tax on fuel. They tax gas in a higher amount than I pay, and I live in Southern California where prices have hit $2.40 per gallon.
So for all those wanting to socialize everything under the sun....don't buy an SUV.
