You guy's over the pond have a long way to catch up with us Brits I'm afraid.

Firstly Diesel is more expensive than petrol here.

95Ron Petrol (standard) is currrently £0.99 per litre therefore @ 6.25 litres to one of your US Gallons means you would be paying £6.19 per US Gallon (Approx $12.38 of your US dollars per US Gallon).

So when you complain, just take a look at what IS going to happen and consider what size engine cars you drive, the Crossfire is a large engined car here in the UK.
