Boy, that's cheap, in the UK it's nearly 3 times that (See

comparison of US to Europe).

That's very old figures (August 2005)

Here in Germany a typical price today
is 1,37 Euro/litre for Diesel and
1,45 Euro/litre for Premium (Super).

In UK currency that's 1.04 pounds resp. 1.10 GBP.

In US terms that's 5,19 Euro per gallon Diesel
and 5,49 Euro per gallon Premium.

Based upon the high Euro and the weak US Dollar
Germans on vacation in the US would pay Euro 2.70
per gallon Diesel, that's 0.71 Euro per litre.
In other words: Fuel in the US today is half of
the German price.
