How much does fuel cost over there? I assume it cost quite a bit more then over here right now where I live it is $5/gal for diesel. Isn't it up past $8/gal over there

Just trying to put things into perspective I drive for a company so it doesn't effect me as much, but I hear friends say they can't make any money and I am thinking how can people in other countries make money when there paying almost twice what we are for fuel.

Diesel costs around £1.30 per litre just now. Thats roughly $8.75 gallon.
Lot of protests over here about rising fuel costs.
Price has risen by 17% in past year and load of haulage companies going to the wall.
