The US Gallon is smaller (16%?) to help people feel a tiny bit better.

I converted US gallon to litres so you needn't feel any better. It's still 46p a litre here.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallon
Oops, 45 p now.
"Gasoline is cheaper than milk again. In September the national average price of milk was $3.73 per gallon. The annual average for milk is on track to be more expensive than the annual average for gasoline for the first time since 2011. The gap is even bigger for some bottled water lovers. A case of a dozen 1.5 liter bottles of Evian on Amazon.com costs $38.99, which makes for a price per gallon of $8.20."

The local Esso in my town reduces petrol two days a week, on Saturday it was down to £1.15 a litre for petrol. I filled up the tank on the bike, went a run and when I came back to fill up again it was gridlocking the street due to the traffic waiting to get in.
Sadly they don’t discount their super unleaded and im forced to pay £1.29 for tescos 99 ron for the taxi.

Stating the obvious - the higher the proportion of tax on your fuel the correspondingly smaller reduction in price you will see, no? The OPs comparison isn't really valid.
Yeah but... I think the tax is 70p a litre? So on the 1.31 61p wasn't tax so if that fell by 25% it should give you a 15p per litre reduction. £1.20 now is about $1.93.
That's 13% in USD terms, but only 8% in GBP.

Paid £1.549 a litre for SU in Ullapool a few years ago. You guys in the Hooning wilderness get ripped off!
Not as bad as the 2.15 euros a litre I paid on the Italian autostrada in 2012.
Still driving Porkers Daz? Must be 10 years since we were last at Brunters on the same day...Not as bad as the 2.15 euros a litre I paid on the Italian autostrada in 2012.
