Unfortunately in the UK its now £0.80 per litre or about $1.20 per litre
which doing the rough maths from litres to Imperial Gallons to US
Gallons works out at about $4.50.

How come the only thing that smaller over there is the Gallon, or is it
because an 8.25 Gallon Hat would sound a bit stupid :-)
