*gasp*

£1.83 per litre = $10.97 U.S. per Imperial gallon.

In truth, that’s a deliberately click-baity photo. The pic was taken on a motorway (read: Interstate highway) and motorway gas stations are a notorious ripoff.

The reason is, there are far, far fewer gas stations around here, and if you’re in an unfamiliar area (which you’re likely to be, if you’re on the motorway) you can’t risk coming off and poking around for a better deal. So they can charge what they like.

At these prices, though, it would be worth your time firing up Google Maps on your phone and trying anywhere else.

Gas is still “just” £1.54 ($9.17) at our local station. Happy days!
