$4.25 per gallon what a joke we are paying the equivalent of $10.40. Maybe if they drove smaller engined cars they`d get better mileage

As TTT reminds us, US gallons aren't as big as UK ones. (3.7854 litres, instead of 4.5461, due to the US gallon being 128 fluid ounces, whereas our is 160).
$4.85 per US gallon (which is the figure quoted in the link, rather than the $4.25 cited in CAC's post) is equivalent to $1.28 per litre which, in turn, is equivalent to £1.07 per litre.
I've just paid £1.89 per litre this afternoon, so our American cousins are paying about 43% less than we are but still moaning about it!
(To save Sanmac from having to reach for his calculator, £1.89 is equivalent to Can$2.94)

^^^ I've forgotten which country you're in, TC. Perhaps you could remind me, and others here too, please?
The £1.89 per litre I paid today was at a supermarket, where the prices are generally significantly lower than independent garages (or, especially, motorway service stations). This particular supermarket's filling station is totally unstaffed (being 'pay by card' only), meaning that they're able to keep their prices relatively low.
Back in mid-June, one filling station in London was reported as charging £2.51 (€2.94) per litre:

You've reminded me that I really must call into M&S soon, TC ;-)
