As of this writing the equivalent cost of a gallon of regular unleaded gas in Greater London is $4.70. France and Germany pay slightly higher, $4.93 per gallon of regular unleaded.

Then the gap seems to have closed significantly since the Bush years and it's because the cost of our gas is rising to meet its cost in Europe.

Hmm. My math shows a different answer.

Gas is currently 100p per liter (last I heard about 3 or 4 days ago). They run on an imperial gallon rather than a U.S. gallon, so the conversion from 100p to US $ is 100 x 1.54 so 100p is $1.54 per liter. Multiply that by 3.8 (US gallon) and I come up with $5.85 per gallon.

Am I making a boo-boo somewhere?
