Got this in an email and appears to be pretty close to the real prices. Might help someone out there.

Hi Andy,
We have somthing similar over here for GB prices also. You may have a bit of a shock we are paying.
Here are the average prices in Wales

UK Petrol Prices pence or £0,01 for a litre of fuel for
Wednesday 23rd Apr 2008
-------------Avg.---- Min.----- Max.
Unleaded: 109.1p 103.9p 119.9p
Diesel: ----119.0p 111.9p 130.9p
LRP:------- 113.1p 108.0p 117.9p
Super:---- 115.9p 106.9p 126.9p
LPG:-------- 56.2p 48.9p --60.9p
The maximum price for deisel is £1.30 or 2.56976$ USD per litre Lead replacement petrol or gas to you is £1.17 or 2.31212$ USD per litre, Super unleaded is £1.26 or 2.49005$ USD per litre.
I will leave it to you guys to transpose the prices per litre into US gallons or imperial gallons.
We have a situation over here which will only make things very much worse. The grange Mouth refinery in Scotland is going on strike causing the whole plant to be shut down this supplies the whole of Scotland and Northern Ireland and North of England. It is affecting the wrest of the country as well as prices have risen and panic buying takes place. It is a huge problem and I would like to see the GB government interceding or mediating. It just shows how dependent western society is.

Anthony, That's pretty steep pricing.. I don't know about the UK, but I feel sometimes we are now wallowing in the bed the greenies and our own spinless Congress has made for us. The government and the oil companies know where to drill and where the deposits are, but they get themselves handcuffed by the greenies.
There is a huge oil field off the coast of Florida that we could access but we are worried that Florida might lose some tourist dollars so we are letting the Cubans and the Chinese develop it? Sounds like a national security threat if I've ever heard one. The same with the bans on drilling off the California and New England coasts. To my unenlightened Neanderthal mind it is just plain stupid.
I've actually wondered if maybe the spike in prices for commodities and the loss of value on the dollar might not be orchestrated, by the powers that be, to help pave the way for a North American Union and the introduction of the Ameros. When it comes to the politicains and bureaucrats lust to achieve and maintain power ANYTHING is possible.

I do not know about the greenies but we are competing in a more competitive market with China and India swallowing a huge piece if the pie between them. That and i do not think the wests policy in the Middle east has won many friends over from anywhere. So the oil producing countries in the middle east at least may not have our interests at heart. I suppose that maintaining a high price per barrel is more important than increasing output. Investing in new fields most cost billions $.
For us in GB it is not just the greed of the oil producers but also the distributors and the GB Government. We pay a huge amount of £ just on Fuel TAX over 2/3rds

China and India are definitely a large part of the equation. The old supply and demand thing. Exploration does cost, but they know where the fields are and aren't allowed by law to drill. Not that an increase in production here would have any immediate impact because we don't have the refining capacity to handle a large influx. Enviros again. The same for reactors to generate electricity. No new ones in ages. It starts to boggle the mind when one considers how much fuel is used to get the coal for the electric plants out of the ground and transported to the plant.
The politicians here aren't about to give up the tax dollars that are rolling in from gas and diesel either. I think it was California, but it doesn't matter. The low life politicians and greenies spent years and tons of money to convince people to buy smaller "more gas efficient" automobiles. Well the people listened and bought. Now the politicians want to raise gas taxes because sales of fuel are down and the corresponding income to the state coffers has been reduced. The little man will never win.
I don't see too many people changing their driving habits here either though. They are still driving over 70 mph dragging boats around.

Amen Brother Andy! Amen!!
I am so sick of green this and green that being stuck in my face every time I turn around.
I celebrated Earth Day by pumping $100 worth of gas into my truck.
Did you hear about the latest find under North Dakota? Suppose to be one of the largest in the world. I bet you that the greenies block drilling in the Dakota's!!!

When the only tool in your toolbox is a hammer, every problem starts to look like a nail.
Yeah, I heard about it last week or so. It is probably a pretty safe bet that there are groups out there now figuring out which administrative and legal buttons to push, and finding which left wing judge will grant their injunction to keep the companies from drilling. Be it environmental impact statements or looking for some species of piss-ant that only lives in N. Dakota and requires 10,000 acres each to properly propogate and which would be endangered if one rig went up, they'll be trying.
My fuel bills are outrageous. I'm running a 2002 F 250 diesel 4 X 4, an 2002 F-150 2 X 2, a 2008 F 250, gasser 4 X 4, my Pinz, a 59 hp Mahindra tractor (diesel), and a 2007 Focus. We are 31 miles from a gas station and WalMart, the ranches I feed are anywhere from 4 miles to 100 miles from the house and there are some serious hills to negotiated while hauling 5 K pounds of feed and trailer.
It's not like this stuff happened overnight either. Last year one of the major stories of the year was Peak Oil and how oil was moving toward $ 100.00 a barrel. Well, it's passed that already and now they are leaking it out that in a few years it will double? Where are the national and state legislatures on this? Flying around the country in either gov't planes or Citations and Gulf Streams, at taxpayer expense, figuring out how to get their guygal elected or pandering to the Global Warming crowd or some such similar nonsense.
It is beyond farce already. JMO.

McCall Pinz, no I don't hold the oil companies blameless. I feed for a guy who worked for the oil companies and he says they were capping wells years ago. But that doesn't change the fact that we don't have the capacity to refine more than what we are doing, because the refinieries we have haven't really changed in years. Look at what happened after Katrina and Rita. They have to jump through all sorts of legal hoops to get anything started and then end up being told NO!. Now is this retribution on their part? Is it GW and Chaney's last hurrah for their buds in the oil patch? I don't know.
But, I'm sure that more could be done without squeezing the daylights out of the little guys.
Look at where we live. It's miles to anywhere out west. Most people that live on the Atlantic coast can't imagine the distances out here. There are full grown adult people in the major cities out east who don't know how to drive. All they've ever done is ride buses, cabs, and subways.
I remember years ago (Myabe 10 - 12) Customs hired some dude from New York City who called our office in McAllen and wanted to know if he could buy a car down here in Texas since he'd heard there was no public transportation. Another one wanted to know if we had air conditioning. These were college grads by the way.
Thw whole east coast is like that. No offense to any Pinzers out there. They think that just because Rhode Island has a page in the highway atlas and Texas has a page they both just gotta be about the same size. They cannot concieve what it is like to drive east west across Kansas much less across Texas. It is just beyond the scope of anything they've ever experienced.
When I was forced to live and work in Northern Virginia, right outside the Beltway, it didn't take long to see that the only thing that was bigger than their (the government types that gravitate towards supposed power) ignorance was their arrogance. And that's the attidtude that prevades the rule and law makers attitude for the most part.
I suspect Erick's right, that it is gonna get worse. Mao was wrong, Political power doesn't always flow from the barrel of a gun.
