I'm 21... I don't believe that the price of gas was EVER that low... Or is that high? The lack of a dollar or cent sign is confusing me! NickSentowski 18:00, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

High, it's in pounds. And you would struggle to find petrol for that price in the UK now, the price has gone up substantially since then. Leithp 18:54, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

77 pounds sterling = $135 US dollars. If that's per gallon, I find it very hard to believe the price of gas in Britain is more than forty times what it is in the US. LockeShocke 22:04, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Nevermind: since it's in liters... and a liter is just over a quarter of a gallon, that means gas would be $540 per gallon. Now it's clear that it's in pence, not pounds sterling. LockeShocke 22:12, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Since I'm bored: £0.779 = US$1.387, 1 liter = 0.26 gallons, therefore £0.779/liter = US$5.25/gallon, or thereabouts. Sources: XE.com, Google calulator, my brain. Electrode 22:22, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

As petrol is now more like 90 pence per litre in the UK, perhaps a more recent photograph is called for. The unrealisticly low price of the petrol does distract from the point of the photograph (to illustrate a story about Shell).
