> An Imperial gallon is 4.5 litres. An American gallon is 3.8 litres so Sally's UK price would be between 5 & 6.00 US$ right now. (Too lazy to go find a current Pound/US Dollar exchange rate.)

Well, I just filled my car up for Ł0.90 a litre. Today's exchange rate is roughly Ł1.00 = $1.81 (sourced from American Express), so that litre cost $1.63 which equates to a US gallon of $6.20.

I remember getting at least five (US) gallons for under five dollars in LA ten years ago. I couldn't quite believe it at the time. Back in the UK that $5 would barely have got me a gallon.
