Hi,

No it isn't. I was there the other day and the most expensive I saw was
about Euro 1.35/litre. Brits seem to have it the worst in Europe, but then
again it gives them somethig to blame their "guv'mint" for so it's
actually keeping them happy in the end.

We're currently paying about £0.94 a litre I think. According to XE.com
that's $1.98 or Euro 1.34

As you say, something like 75% of that goes straight to HMG in tax.

And I resemble the implication that we like to complain
