Also, you seem unaware of the taxation on motoring in the UK. Because of
taxes, fuel prices are around GBP 0.90 per litre, which, if I have the
conversion factors right, is over $6 per US gallon.

$6.70 for a US gallon, just under $8 for an Imperial gallon.

Don't forget to mention the "tax disc" - now £300/$590 per year for the
highest emissions class (which most American-market vehicles would fall
into)
Sister told me that she has just bought her new disc, a few days after
the budget. She drives an 05 Fiesta diesel. Last year she paid 50.00.
This year 35.00. What is really annoying is that it feels more sporty
than the 2.2l Vectra that SWMBO has.
