It IS Expensive when compared to almost anywhere else in Europe and the US.
Our Fuel has more Tax per Litre than any other Country and starts off cheaper.
As I said elsewhere I was only paying around the £1.55 mark for a GALLON of diesel in US.

General running costs
Wear and tear

How'd you feel now Zeb?

You'll have to pay for that anyway, TF. So it doesn't count for that round trip.
